This is our government, people.
The Thoughtful Deliberative Body.
Easier solution: fire the senators for taking a private plane to a funeral. They should ride coach like the rest of us.
Coach is for the little people.

Now now people, we must not afflict the comfortable. Its a tough job being a Senator these days, they are busy doing…what have they done lately?
So will the media run the abusive boss news for a few days? It’s not ANONYMOUS this time.
Confirming more judges to overturn settled law sound familiar???
Gone along with Mitch McConnell on blocking legislation assuring our electoral system is safely walled off from foreign meddling and manipulation.
Hey, you take your victories where you can get them.
Staffers for a Senator from a different state bump a Senator from Cochran’s home state? What a sense of entitlement to even think they warrant a private plane seat, much less squabble over it. And what a show of leadership by our elected officials to not quickly sort it out in the proper manner.
The poor aide that made a fuss about insisting on a window seat is now buried in the end zone of the Meadowlands.
I bet that bill to set a minimum seat size would get another vote and would sail right through.
The other was transferred to Klobashar’s staff.
How is this worth space, even the limitless space of the 'net?
They couldn’t just ask for volunteers to not go? Or simply say, you are not going? Or how about the three of us go and leave it at that?
You probably have no clue Jennifer Aniston is still wanting a baby with Brad Pitt. Sheesh.
If I were one of the demoted aides, I’d make sure their next trip had them in a Aeroflot turboprop baggage hold.
The aides were asked whether they wanted firing or demotion. Huh?
What am I missing here? Two senators want to use a private jet to fly to a funeral. The extra seats are filled with aides. When a third senator wants to fly with them, he is told the plane is full of aides and neither senator is in the position to ask/order one (or more) of the aides to vacate the plane?
Or did senator#3 only talk to aides rather than to his colleagues? The article makes it sound as though Shelby refused. But aides were punished.
Or is this all just sloppy writing?
I have the same question. Not sure why I’m asking for logic when it comes to this government, but this makes no sense to me.
