I guess it's only possible under the most extreme circumstances. It requires a general situation so dire that the people wouldn't care. That's the most important part: If there's insufficient resistance among the public, everything else is just a piece of cake. The unconsitutionality of dissolving Congress and Supreme Court does only matter if people actually care about such questions.
9/11 itself didn't create such a situation... events like 9/11 happening on a weekly or at least monthly basis would at least be required. At the end of the day, the urge of not being in a constantly life-threating situation is stronger than the urge of having a democratic system of government.
