Leftists have attempted plenty of times and instead been shown either the kid's table or the door, do pardon me if I don't think much about the seating arrangements.

Because to me that would not be a reason to go to bat for a party like that. It smacks of terrible mismanagement or cronyism or both.

I don't choose to be wrong, and am happy to be corrected. So far only one person has actually attempted to do that though.

So I am, as noted, not an American and not a legal scholar, but that sounds to me like by codifying Roe v Wade into the constitution would have made it more difficult to repeal by requiring "high levels of consensus to achieve."
