Supreme Court nominees have to go through congressional hearing and a senate vote, so as long as there isn't a progressive majority in the senate, no progressive judges would be approved.
A big issue is the conflicting rulings from last week. In Roe, the court said it's up to individual states to decide their abortion laws. But a day earlier, they struck down a NY state gun law, saying federal law supersedes state law. The two cases are not exactly oranges-to-oranges, but enough so that it looks like the court went one way on abortion and the opposite way on guns.
