    The Supreme Court cannot issue a constitutional amendment, only the States or Congress can do that. It’s going to be extremely difficult to claim the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to Trump based on the language and the fact that Confederates were barred from office without being convicted. The Supreme Court would be in breach of power to ignore what the Consitution says.
