    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.

      The supreme court already rewrote the college loan law. I think they know they can’t be held accountable and have little respect for the laws or constution beyond those that align with their ideology

        A law is different than a Consitutional Amendment. They can’t rewrite it and it’s obvious what the Amendment was put in place for.
