The supreme court is rather independent of the executive branch and of law enforcement. Furthermore, this was an appeal of an appellate court's ruling that occurred last year. Keep in mind that the Supreme Court primarily concerns itself with cases that potentially set or clarify precedence. As they didn't feel that any new legal ground would be made here, they didn't take the case.
