I will NOT defend SCOTUS, they've been terrible for their entire history - but then agreeing to hear this case is a good thing, NOT a bad thing. Refusing to hear the case would mean the Texas 5th circuit decision becomes law - hearing the case means that there may be some future for eased access.
@chrisgeidner did an excellent write up about this literally today, and his journalism (and criticism) of the supreme court is second to none:
