I can find nothing in the constitution giving political parties any right to have majority or minority leaders or sections, no right to "two sides of the aisle, actually no rights, powers, or privileges in any part of government. I can't even find any mention of political parties in the constitution.
I think political parties should have the same status as fraternal or civic organizations. NO VOICE IN GOVERNMENT, no repub or dem designations on b****ts, NO TAX MONEY FOR POLITICAL PARTIES, absolutely no legal standing or power or voice in government.
