In theory, the court is not supposed to be politicized. That's why they are lifetime-appointed rather than elected. The idea is that they cannot be bought like legislators or the President can. In reality of course, judges tend to lean one way or another - and presidents will observe those leanings and pick in accordance with those leanings. That's just the way it is in the real world.
How much of a difference will it make if Hillary Clinton chooses those judges or Donald Trump or Ted Cruz?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
