When the women are speaking in the gallery before the first Senate session, Mrs. Harrison says the "minority party is on the right and the majority party is on the left." If she's referring to the speaker's (President's) perspective, this would put the Republicans in the majority, as the Democrats (being the oldest party) sit on the speaker's right.However, later in that scene the Vice President steps down from the podium and asks a senator to take over for him; that senator is clearly to his right. A member of the minority party would never serve as President of the Senate, particularly during such a sensitive hearing. Thus, it's possible that Mrs. Harrison is noting "right" and "left" from her perspective in the gallery (which would place the Democrats in the majority).
