Does US Supreme Court have the Constitutional right to ban prayer?

No, that would violate American's freedoms of speech and religion.
Additional information:
The Supreme Court has the authority to regulate the exercise of speech and religion. For example, the Establishment Clause prompted the Court to declare the use of organized religion, prayer and Bible-reading in public schools unconstitutional, but the Free Exercise Clause allows individuals to pray whenever and wherever they like.
Freedom of speech is not, and never has been, absolute.
