Trump provided a list of conservative legal figures he might nominate - whether or not Clinton's choices would be ideal, progressives should find them better than Trump's.
To give a concrete example, the current deadlock has stopped Obama's deferred action immigration program, affecting the status of millions of immigrants. It seems likely a Clinton appointee would flip that result, while a Trump appointee would not.

On the other hand Hillary seems to be keen on augmenting the government's spying activities, criminal enforcement, and foreign aggression. There is no good reason to think that Clinton's nominees will in aggregate be better.
