Is Trump disqualified from the ballot by the 14th Amendmend?

The New York Times is reporting that "two prominent conservative law professors have concluded that Donald J. Trump is ineligible to be president under a provision of the Constitution that bars people who have engaged in an insurrection from holding government office." According to the professors, he can not even appear on ballots, and any state election official who allows him to can be sued.

The Washington Post has published two opinion pieces largely siding with this view, and one of the pieces states that it "now seems inevitable" that this challenge to Trump's eligibility will be tested by the Supreme Court.

Media all over the political spectrum are reporting on this, and none that I have seen are calling the idea wrong.
