The supreme court turns down the vast majority writs of cert that are sent to it. There are many reasons for this above and beyond the fact that the supreme court does not have the capacity to adjudicate both all the direct appeals and discretionary appeals sent to it. In many cases, the court determines that the existing r uling was correct (a split in circuits almost always guarantees the USSC will hear the case-such as the McDonald v Chicago (14th amendment / 2nd Amendment) where the 7th and 9th Circuit reached contrary conclusions.
so in this case, who knows but pissing and moaning about the Supremes not taking up this case is hardly do to sinister reasons.
They very likely wouldn't hear the case because a majority of them had no idea what to decide. Nothing sinister in that.
