Is Ebola outbreak or ISIS attack legitimate cause for Martial Law?

If, heaven forbid, Ebola were to spread, or ISIS were to attack on US soil - and our government declared Martial Law - curfew, travel restrictions, firearms confiscations, etc. - would the public agree to this, or rebel? Would a "trumped up" fear of this be enough to allow for a declaration of such?
Do the American People have the will to stand up against it? Could they be "bought off" if they were provided a "perk" of an "inconvenience" payment for every month of Martial Law?
Does the government - at all levels - have enough power to control the people? Could this be a tactic to freeze elections and keep those in power there? Could this be a new horizon for political parties to continue control beyond election cycles?
I wonder because we see so many views on the police stops, gun rights, etc. etc., this seems to be the next frontier of Government intrusion vs. People's Rights.

Martial Law is unconstitutional unless ISIS were launching a land attack.
"The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."

You can't outrank Obama. That's like trying to triple stamp a double stamp.

If ISIS were to attack, there it is. Public Safety would cover Ebola.
The Louisiana Constitution prohibition on gambling didn't stop casinos. The 4th Amendment to the US Constitution didn't stop the Patriot Act with warrantless searches.
My point is that I think many in the public could be satisfied with a monthly "check" to live under a form of Martial Law to start. Once imposed, the sky's the limit.
No, I do not smoke pot or do drugs. Based on these reactions, maybe I should?

Always remember ever police officer, sheriff, national guardsmen, and many soldiers ALL have families, friends, and loved ones they go home to or speak with often.
I will trust in the vast majority of them to do the right thing in a serious situation, bc if they do the wrong thing it will probably be against those who they care about.

The US Government owns a money printing press. Just print some more. Has never stopped us before.
