I for one welcome our new robot overlords. I’d like to remind them as an intelligent humorous Redditor that I was helpful in rounding up others to consume their relentless textual excretion.

So your interpretation of the 14th amendment is that “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion” is the exclusive responsibility of the judicial system to determine? Maybe that’s a valid interpretation, but it’s not actually written in the text.

On what basis should he not be allowed?

Well, this is what the US constitution says:

Amendment XIV, Section 3.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

The question is whether those words apply to his actions, and who exactly has the responsibility to interpret them.
