Declaring a state of emergency is a way of saying "due process has been suspended", calling that itself due process is a bit too charitable imo

If there were court orders (i.e. the judicial system was given the opportunity to say no), what else would you call this?

The power of the state is large. It is reined in by some of its own components, but it is foolish to imagine that in a society that is not explicitly anarchist that it would somehow be limited in the way you seem to imagine.
