Primarily because they won't take the case. I think it'll be like the last one. A one-sentence rejection with no opinions written.

""The application for injunctive relief presented to Justice [Samuel] Alito and by him referred to the Court is denied," said the court's one-sentence order, which did not suggest any dissent among the nine justices."
