Its Elena Kagan who has recused on this case not Sotomayor.

It sounds like Obama knew that they would lose on this:

The Obama administration discouraged the Supreme Court from taking up the case, saying the court should wait until other appellate courts ruled on copycat laws in other states. The law requires local police to ask people about their immigration status in certain cases and allows them to arrest people without a warrant if police believe they have committed a crime that makes them deportable.

Kagen recused herself. A 4-4 vote means AZ wins, for the moment.

She heard oral argument. She's voting on the decision.

I think you're confusing her with Justice Kagan.
