Republicans won a comfortable majority in the Senate last week, a fact which should allow President-elect Donald Trump to fill any potential Supreme Court vacancies.

Yet one former Trump White House advisor recently said that Republicans go further and block all of President Joe Biden's judicial nominees. 

Steve Bannon: "We ain't going to approve one judge"

According to Newsweek, that suggestion was put forward by Steve Bannon during Monday's episode of his "War Room" podcast.

"We ain't going to approve one judge," was quoted as telling his listeners. "No federal judges because guess what? CNN and MSNBC and Lawrence Tribe and all of it, we control the Supreme Court."

"And now, since we're going to block all the judges because you waited too long, you had all four years, you had time to do it, but you thought you were going to run the tables on us, you believed your own polling," he continued.

"We're going to have a 7-2 Supreme Court"

Bannon also highlighted Trump's record of having appointed three Supreme Court justices, recalling how Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was "too arrogant" to retire when President Barack Obama was in office.

"Now we're going to get all the judges," Bannon declared. "We're going to have a 7-2 Supreme Court, maybe hopefully one day 9-0."

"We're grabbing the institutions and taking power," he insisted. "You're not going to get your judges through. They're all going to be Trump judges."

"We got to purge the corruption. Maybe we got to get rid of the FBI and build another federal police force. Maybe we got to deconstruct a bunch of the CIA," Bannon went on to add.

Liberal judge won't retire after Trump's victory

Meanwhile, Fox News reported on Tuesday that Trump's victory prompted a Clinton-appointed federal judge in Ohio rescinded his retirement plans.

Judge Judge Algenon Marbley serves in the Southern District of Ohio, and he announced plans late last year to take on senior status in preparation for his retirement.

However, the 70-year-old jurist has sent a letter to the White House which explained that he is now planning to remain on the bench.

"A successor has not been confirmed, and I have therefore decided to remain on active status and carry out the full duties and obligations of the office," Marbley wrote.
