She IS hired help. Just as all lawmakers are.

Good point. And her contract comes up for renewal every two years.
Her refusal to comply with a simple condition like wearing a certain pin should be considered when voters decide in November. Just because some people who watch the State of the Union address know who she is, because of her aisle-seat-barging, doesn't mean that every single Capitol Police officer can recognize her at a moment's notice.
Yet she really showed her lack of recognition of simple courtesy when he approached her. I guess good manners are not something that she "values".
