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).
