I don't see SCOTUS overturning either the National Emergencies Act or 10 USC 2808 which deals with emergency uses of military construction funds. The case will hinge upon whether the proposed use of funds meets the definition of "military construction" used in 10 USC 2808.

I don't think it does meet the definition except in areas along the border that are already within military bases. The Posse Comitatus Act among other authorities limits the ability to use the armed forces for civilian purposes and Congress has explicitly made border security a civilian function.
