Comply

A telling little phrase. For little feudal lords like Manchin, other people being allowed to do something he doesn't like is something HE has to comply with.

Manchin tells me he spoke to Fetterman today about the Senate dress code change

“I said ‘John, I think it’s wrong & there's no way I can comply with that’…Wanted to tell him directly that I totally oppose it & I will do everything I can to try to hold the decorum of the Senate”
