I can’t get the article to open on my phone. Did SCOTUS flat out refuse to hear it, or rather decide not to hear it *now* based on a technical (like standing, or expedited review) point?

The Court is highly protective of itself when it comes to technical procedures. Refusing to hear the case may not mean that it’s all settled ...

Wouldn’t it be cool if the court was “highly protective” of the Constitution as well?

The Court simply didn't grant the petition to review the case, which sets no precedent but leaves the lower court's decision intact. Because the Court does not write an opinion when it doesn't grant review, it could be for any number of possible reasons.
