Well, never mind if it is by design, fist fights between politicians were sort of commonplace in the old days.
At any rate, putting members of the two parties on each side of the aisle certainly helps, if not in terms of limiting fist fights then making it easier for people and members themselves to be sure which side they’re on.
They’re always supposed to support policy proposals put forward by their own party, you know, and vote against anything raised by the other party. If they support any proposals by the other party, on the other hand, they’re known to have crossed the line, the imaginary line in the middle of the aisle separating the two parties. In other words, it’s as if they walked cross the aisle and joined the other party.
Well, enough ado about politics. Let’s read a few more media examples to put “both sides of the aisle” firmly in their place, if you know what I mean:
1. Shortly after a federal appeals court ruled the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional, the Senate Wednesday approved a resolution “expressing support for the Pledge of Allegiance” and asking Senate counsel to “seek to intervene in the case.”
The resolution passed 99-0.
The Senate resolution came about quickly after lawmakers on both sides of the aisle were outraged as news spread of the decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The court ruled the Pledge of Allegiance is an unconstitutional “endorsement of religion” because of the addition of the phrase “under God” in 1954 by Congress.
