Three conservative justices -- Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch -- said they would have set aside the appeals court decision and ordered the underlying case dismissed. > Chief Justice John Roberts and new Justice Brett Kavanaugh didn’t participate in the Supreme Court’s action. Neither gave a reason, but Kavanaugh played a role in the case on the appeals court, saying he would have overturned the net neutrality rule.
