OK, that's an overstatement, but here's some welcome news, courtesy of Ed Whelan at NRO:
In January, the Senate Judiciary Committee will swing from a 10-8 Democrat-to-Republican advantage to an 11-9 Republican to Democrat advantage. Here are the eleven Republicans:
Chuck Grassley, Iowa (presumptive chairman)
Orrin Hatch, Utah
Jeff Sessions, Alabama
Lindsey Graham, South Carolina
John Cornyn, Texas
Mike Lee, Utah
Ted Cruz, Texas
Jeff Flake, Arizona
David Vitter, Louisiana
David Perdue, Georgia
Thom Tillis, North Carolina
Vitter, Perdue and Tillis are new to the committee (and Perdue and Tillis are new to the Senate).
