   @JoshuaHolland indeed, they were excluded based on conduct, an affirmative action, and not based on a conviction.

     True that SCOTUS will figure out some reason to overturn but lack of conviction is a red herring. Being ineligible doesn't deprive you of life, liberty or property and the authors of 14A didn't require conviction bc they were barring 1000s of confederates and trying them all would've been impossible.
