Quite true, most cases are turned down. For the Court to grant certiorari (i.e. agrees to hear the case) normally it requires at least four of the justices to favor hearing it. That's not a hard rule, but rather normal practice. I would be rather surprised if the court does not agree to hear it though. It's a major case and one that challenges an earlier ruling by the SC.
