What was the ruling?  Was it unanimous?

I looks like the Court refused to grantcertiorari, meaning they will not actually hear the case, and the lower court ruling will stand without review.

It takes at 4 Justices to grant cert, so at least 6 Justices agreed tacitly with the lower court's ruling.

Yup, you are right.  I didn't even consider that (stupidly, since the court just opened).
