I think that's a grey area. Some members indicated they might have ruled against the administration if the deadline didn't moot the issue. Which the Court did, when the issue was no longer moot. If I were placing blame here, I'd put at least part of it on the SC for not giving a real ruling on it in the first place. There was speculation about an extension in the air already at the time, and they could have cut that short.
