“High court turns down Louisiana bid on Census”

AP reports.  From my earlier coverage:

Louisiana Files Original Suit in SCOTUS Claiming Illegals Should Not Count for Apportionment Purposes

Lyle Denniston reports for SCOTUSBlog on this new petitionJustin Levitt: “New LA #redistricting suit (http://redistricting.lls.edu/cases.php) will lose, and lose badly, for lots of different reasons.”

How appealing will be an argument to a bunch of originalists/textualists that the term “persons” in the Constitution does not include all people, and in fact excludes non-legal residents?
