I asked my wife the same question .. Correct me if I am mistaken but did not the known left in congress all sit on the same side ?

When they are in their respective chambers, yes. But because this was a joint session, the seating arrangements are a little peculiar. Birds of a feather pretty much are together, but not in one big flock.

Yes they did - and at a STOU speech, it's OPEN SEATING.

That should prove their PARTIANSHIP - it does to me!!
