It seemed like in the Senate that it was all republicans on board and all democrats against. Is it possible we will see the same thing with this committee?
Click on a committee and it will show you the members, without affiliation. You will have to do your own homework to find out the breakdown. :)
More importantly than just the R/D breakdown is that that the committee chair and members are assigned by the Speaker, and because of the importance of this committee (it is the bottleneck through which all legislation must pass), you can be sure that the Speaker makes sure he appoints very loyal (to him) people. I.e. people that will vote how he wants when they are considering which bills will go to the floor.
