With the pace of litigation they can at least delay things for a good while. Cases still have to work their way up to the supreme court and get heard.

Regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations still have long public comment processes and take years to enact or repeal.

A Senate majority of 53 is workable, but also fragile. That's a pretty small margin for defections, and that is going to put some limits on what can get passed.
