Biggest problem, if it is a national emergency, why now? The flood had been going on for over a decade. No real difference.

Really? Apparently you were unaware:

The National Emergencies Act (NEA) authorizes the president to declare a “national emergency.”1 A declaration under NEA triggers emergency authorities contained in other federal statutes. Past NEA declarations have addressed, among other things, the imposition of export controls and limitations on transactions and property from specified nations.2 A national emergency was declared in 2001 after the September 11th terrorist attacks and has been renewed every year since then.

So would the courts even have a say? They have remained silent on the declaration of National Emergency that has been in effect for 17 years and running now.

National Emergencies Act, Sections 201 and 301

Thanks. Good information.

But this is the era of Trump, and past precedents don’t count with the racist, regressive fascists we have on the courts.

I can’t say with any certainty but they have gone so far overboard against Trump, and Trumps DoJ is absolutely useless, why would’t they say because it’s him they will decide differently. They have done that before.

Even the Supreme court with the compromised chief justice is uncertain. Wouldn’t it be tied up for a while?
