If you visit the link, you'll see that no decision was issued in that case. Looking further, you'll see that it was denied review. Wesley Snipes appeal was also denied review. The justices do not believe it is worthy of their time, as their was likely not enough of a point of law to consider.

Reporting from Los Angeles and Washington— The U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing California to continue granting reduced, in-state tuition to college students who are illegal immigrants is likely to bolster similar proposals across the nation, as well as a California measure to provide financial aid for the undocumented. The high court's action Monday upholds a California Supreme Court ruling last year that said the state's policy is legal because it grants in-state tuition on the basis of students' graduation from California high schools, not on their citizenship. A conservative immigration-law group appealed the decision, arguing that the discount — worth as much as $23,000 annually at University of California schools — was preferential treatment that violated federal law.

Rather than speculate any further, I sent this e-mail to the two writers of the L.A. Times article:
Larry Gordon/David Savage: Your story in today's L.A. Times about the U.S. Supreme Court deciding to uphold California's policy of allowing in-state tuition for illegal immigrants is directly contradicted by this story from 6/6 which states the Court declined to hear the case: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011...#ixzz1OWYZSeyv I'd like to know what's going on here. Where are you getting your information?

It is exactly as AG stated, the SOTUS rejected the case. Basically the reason was that the Calif law states that if a person has attended a Calif high school for 3 years, they may attend a Calif college or university as a Calif resident. That was the reason the SOTUS did not want to hear the case. The SOTUS reasoned that the Calif law was not about immigration because it would also cover legal citizens who had attended a Calif high school and had then moved out of state, so it wasn't pertaining to their legal status as a citizen which would fall under federal law.
This was the loophole that Calif knew would get their "Dream Act" through. But it is still unfair and this state will pay dearly for such pandering in the near future. Kobach at center of two Supreme Court decisions in illegal immigration cases Topeka — The U.S. Supreme Court has issued two decisions in illegal immigration cases that involved Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. On Monday, the court refused to review a California Supreme Court ruling that upheld a state law giving California high school graduates reduced in-state tuition at state schools, regardless of their immigration status. The court did not give a reasons for its action. Kobach, a Republican, was the lead attorney for the plaintiffs suing to have the law overturned. Eleven other states, including Kansas, grant similar benefits to illegal immigrants. The others are: Illinois, Maryland, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. On Tuesday, Kobach said the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court refused to consider the case did not mean that it supports the California law. He said the court may be waiting for more lower court rulings on similar laws in other states before it takes up the matter. Kobach is leading a similar lawsuit in Nebraska. In another case Monday, the high court vacated an appellate court decision that declared a Hazleton, Penn. illegal immigration ordinance unconstitutional. The court sent the case back to the lower court for reconsideration. "That was a big victory for the proponents of illegal immigration enforcement," Kobach said. But opponents of the Hazleton ordinance said the court's decision doesn't mean the lower court will automatically reverse its earlier ruling. Among other things, the Hazleton ordinance requires businesses to use the federal E-Verity database to see if a worker is legally in the United States. Last month, the Supreme Court upheld a provision in an Arizona law that did the same thing. Kobach has represented the city of Hazleton and state of Arizona in these cases. http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2011/ju...ions-illegal-/ Last edited by Jeanfromfillmore; 06-07-2011 at 11:18 AM. |

I just got an e-mail back from one of the writers of the Times story:
"Hi, thanks for the note. I don’t see the contradiction since the stories say the same thing. By dismissing the appeal and refusing the hear that case, it upholds the California court. Sorry if you thought there were differences." Larry Gordon Los Angeles Times This is the weasliest thing I've ever seen. As if he doesn't know the difference between dismissing an appeal and refusing to hear it. Totally misleading story.
