By Manu Raju and Lauren Fox | CNNSenate Republicans are prepared to block Democratic efforts to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein on the powerful Judiciary committee, ratcheting up pressure on the 89-year-old California Democrat to resign or return quickly to allow President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees to be confirmed.Democrats would need 60 votes to replace Feinstein on the panel, but senior Republicans in leadership and on the committee made clear Monday that they would not give them the votes to do that. The result: At least 12 nominees — and maybe more — could be stalled if Feinstein does not return soon.The stakes are high for Democrats, who could see key agenda items thwarted — both on the committee and on the Senate floor — if they are unable to replace Feinstein and the California Democrat does not return to Washington soon.Faced with the prospect that the effort to replace Feinstein will fail, Democrats will be under increasing pressure to find a way out of ...Warriors embrace cowbells and raucous Kings crowd in Sacramento
