Which would mean Justice Roberts participated, but we don't know whether he voted to hear the appeal or not.

I said this, and wanted to correct it, because I found out yesterday I was wrong. I read that the refusal to hear the appeal was actually voted on before Roberts took office, and they just waited until the first day of the new term to announce it.

Aha. Thank you. That explains the (lack of) press reaction.
