Again, saying congress can vacate it, while true, would depend upon enough of the House and Senate to want to do such, and considering it takes both chambers to pass a bill, and knowing the Senate is still a majority GOP, I doubt that would work. The only way he goes down on this right now are the courts. And considering the current makeup of the SCOTUS, there is one thing he was right about in his vile bigoted rambling today, the lower courts are likely to say no to him, but the SCOTUS is a different story.

Well, a conservative justice and a conservative politician aren't quite the same thing. Kavanaugh admittedly seems to have some screwy ideas about executive power. But a conservative justice is generally pretty likely to take the system of checks and balances pretty seriously. Chief Justice Roberts is not exactly Trump's buddy. My guess is that the case of Trump's national emergency is going to be slow-walked. 

Here's an article about how Roberts has likely begun looking to curb executive power in the last couple of months:
