The national emergencies act of 1972 gives the house and senate the power to terminate emergency declarations if voted on by veto proof majorities. They enacted this law and so I’m not sure the courts can play a role. FWIW, I’m not a constitutional lawyer.

Correction: 1976 not 1972

This Act of 1972 insures us against a possible dictatorship.

If the U S Congress can gather enough votes to create a veto-proof majority, the President's Emergency Declaration will be rendered null & void.

Highly unlikely in the turbulence and polarization of the current Congress.

That's what I read. Since there is -- in stature -- legislative recourse, the courts are supposed to butt out.
