They will strike it down. This SCOTUS, and, indeed, many SCOTUS decisions are the personal beliefs of the justices.

So…

They will claim that the language only applied to the children of slaves/former slaves and nobody else. They will uphold the citizenship of those who were made citizens under the amendment prior to their decision because it would be a nightmare otherwise.

The flexibility of the the belief structures of the conservatives can be seen particularly in the second amendment case which affirmed blanket ownership of weaponry outside of the militia wording that was plainly and openly in the amendment as a criteria for owning arms.
