The Insurrection Act is still following established Law.

Even if invoked, it isn't limitless.

Trump does not have limitless powers even if he actives it.

"The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law (10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255; prior to 2016, 10 U.S.C. §§ 331–335; amended 2006, 2007) that empowers the President of the United States to deploy U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops within the United States in particular circumstances, such as to suppress civil disorder, insurrection and rebellion. "

If there is no authorization to run, equip, and maintain the DoD, then the DoD is at the very least crippled. It can operate under a Continuing Resolution (if passed).
