Of course they don't, that's what clerks are for: to find the stuff that's worth their time.

Clerks are also writting many opinions (or at least drafts) as per Justice's instruction (unless we're talking about someone like William O. Douglas, who was basically a Rochambeau in terms of producing quick opinions).

Given the sheer number of stuff that is coming over to the Court, it would be impossible for nine Justices to read it all.
