Broad UNCHECKED powers. Again, when did we consent to this? Tomorrow I can claim there’s an alien invasion emergency and declare martial law?

Quite correct. The government has broad police powers that usually refer to the power to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, and counter pestilence and natural disasters. The courts historically will not intervene and the courts are simply not going to get involved. Period. Last week one of these lawsuits was summarily dismissed without comment by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
