Fucking disgusting.

The 14th Amendment seems pretty unambiguous, though??

Unless the argument is that they can change apportionment within, but not between, states.

It says:

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed

There's some ambiguity regarding whether it includes travelers. Also, the term "Indians not taxed" also introduces some ambiguity.

Congress and the Federal Government does not have the power to change apportionment within states. That power is reserved to the state legislatures.
