Thurmond girds for battle as Senate shifts power
Thurmond leads a Republican reshaping of the Judiciary Committee after the 1980 party switch. The new majority tightens budgets, reorganizes subcommittees, and places Denton, Hatch, Grassley, East, and Specter in pivotal roles while Democrats see reduced influence and reform of key panels. Biden moves to minority ranking while Heflin and DeConcini align with GOP interests. The piece frames the era as a planned offensive in the Reagan years.
