Interesting point!  The Court takes cases such as this not only to deal 
with the specifics of Dominos but, more importantly, to establish guidance 
for things in general.
Businesses are confused, from a legal standpoint, as to what they must and 
ned to do; and there is so much bureaucracy in existence that perhaps the 
agency needing to lay out the guidelines may not have been aware of its 
need to do so.
For those individuals running a business, you may be violating some local, 
state or federal law without even knowing it; and worse it, there is so 
much bureaucracy out there, once you discover that you were violating 
something that you didn't believe was a violation, you may find it 
difficult to know what to do.
No business intentionally wants to alienate potential customers, legally 
or not, and working through the maze of regs out there, even if you are 
aware of them, becomes difficult at best.

Typically, the Supreme Court hears the arguments, backed by briefs, early 
in its yearly session and will hand down its decision probably sometime in 
the spring.
The court chooses which cases it believes needs 
their attention; and the mere fact that they are hearing arguments 
indicates that it believes it has general importance.
The Supreme Court gets swamped b;y appeal requests; so that it chooses to 
hear a particular case tells you something.
Also, keep in mind, dependent on what points their decision ends up 
focusing on, things may end up more clear or more fuzzy.
There are so many legal points in these cases, not just the ones getting 
media attention.
