Steve Bannon warns of conflict in Senate over judicial appointments before Trump's inauguration

Steve Bannon warned that the Senate may face significant conflict over judicial appointments as Democrats seek to confirm judges before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. He described this effort as a potential "Blitzkrieg" of approvals. Bannon expressed concerns that if Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor resigns, it could allow Trump to appoint another justice quickly. He criticized Democrats for trying to push through judicial confirmations, suggesting it could lead to a breakdown of collegiality in the Senate. Bannon, recently released from prison, emphasized that Republican senators should use all tactics to delay judicial appointments until Trump is inaugurated. He believes this could be the last opportunity for Democrats to influence the judiciary for years.
