Wahoo! In addition to the changes he'll likely get to make on SCOTUS (see also here), Obama will have a number of appointments to make on the various circuit courts of appeals. Of note for North Carolinians and Virginians:The most striking change could come soon after Obama takes office, with the selection of nominees to fill four existing vacancies on the staunchly conservative, 15-judge 4th Circuit.
Also, check out the mention of Judge Wynn (NC Ct. App.) for 4th Cir.!
Of course, Obama will still have to deal with GOP opposition.
