None of them voted, given that the Supreme Court did not hear or rule on the case, because the law says that the suit can be filed.

To hear it would be to potentially legislate from the bench.

IIRC, No. I've never heard any such announcement. They need to get 4 judges to vote in the affirmative to hear a case, i.e. "to grant 'cert'"(Certiorari).
