Here is the potential evil interpretation of a biased Supreme Court:
The constitutional ineligibility granted by the 22nd Amendment applies only to becoming President by an election. It doesn't apply to becoming President by non-elected means, such as if the Vice President steps down. As such, the applicability of the constitutional eligibility as referred to in the 12th Amendment is subject to interpretation.
I am not saying it's right, only that it is sufficient for a biased Supreme Court to exploit it.
