Before they pick another losing fight. They need to let go of this delusion that President Obama is going to voluntarily undo his signature policies- or that Dems are going to vote en masse to make him. They have to accept the reality (ha ha) that they are just as stuck as Dems are with not being able to do much other than nibble around the edges unless they plan to start trying to work with President Obama. They're clearly NOT going to, so there is really not much for them to actually do for at least the next 2 years except put on one disastrous show for their base after the other. It's going to be really high drama if SCOTUS guts subsidies for several states.
