Yes. Even if Scalito is confirmed, a Democratic majority in Congress or your state legislature can undo alot of damage, and a Democratic President certainly can. Keep in mind that much of the caseload of the Court (both Supreme Court and federal appellate courts) is generated by the right wing agenda (i.e. Terri Schiavo, Texas gerrymandering, tort "reform", union busting, employment cases, and a whole host of other polarizing issues they promote through Congress and the state legislatures. Every Democrat elected whittles away at their power. Keep contributing to good Democrats that are willing to put their name on the ballot.
