Summary
Bannon’s concerns center around the potential resignation of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and the implications it could have for the Senate’s judicial landscape. He warns that if Sotomayor steps down, it may create an opportunity for President-elect Donald Trump to nominate a fourth Supreme Court Justice shortly after taking office, further solidifying a conservative majority on the Court.
Bannon’s remarks come in the context of discussions among Democrats about pressuring Sotomayor to resign, thereby allowing President Biden to nominate her replacement before Trump is inaugurated. He describes this strategy as risky, suggesting that it could lead to a scenario where Trump gains more judicial power early in his term. Bannon also highlights the urgency among Democrats to confirm as many judges as possible before the transition to a Republican majority in the Senate, which he believes could lead to a breakdown of collegiality in the chamber. He emphasizes that this period may represent the Democrats’ last chance to appoint judges for the foreseeable future, framing the situation as a potential “war” over judicial appointments in the Senate.
