And don't be so sure the supreme court will approve of the way Trump is doing this.
They will lose. You can not name one thing illegal or over reaching about it.
Congress has to power to over turn the 1976 act or make a new one.

Eminent domain by the executive branch is illegal, even under a state of emergency, without specific expressed approval from congress.
So he can use those funds on land already owned by the federal government, or on land where the landowner voluntarily hands it over, but that's it.
And the supreme court already ruled on this many decades ago.
It would be very very unlikely the court would overturn this decision.

As stated, there may be an issue with using defense funds for a civilian construction project. But otherwise, I agree with you that the Supreme Court will likely tell Congress, "You gave him this power, its up to you to take it back."
