Congress may have given him the power, but that doesn't mean they intended for the President to create his own "emergency," in order to exploit that power. And, yes. The current Congress is gutless, and that's being very generous.

But even if the courts rule in the plaintiff’s favor, how would it be enforced?

The strongest way to block Trump’s abuse of the law is to repeal the law itself, completely rescinding any and all emergency authority granted to the executive by congress, reverting that authority wholly to congress, as the constitution dictates.

It will be interesting to see if, once the nation is plunged into recession, and shortages are commonplace, if congress will find the courage to repeal the law, or if the Republicans will mindlessly plod towards a bloodbath in the midterms.
