I think at the time they just found another way in. Since they'd won all the cases and appeals so far, and since the law is clear (even if I disagree with it) I don't think they were afraid. Remember, that was the court that refused to hear privacy cases around the NSA, warrent-less wiretapping etc. And since then the court has taken a hard right swing...
