More good news: On remand from the Tenth Circuit, the district judge who previously denied Hobby Lobby’s motion for a preliminary injunction has granted Hobby Lobby a TRO. The judge determined that Hobby Lobby had “made a sufficient showing as to the remaining elements necessary to the issuance of a temporary restraining order (weighing of the relative harms and whether injunctive relief is in the public interest).” As there are the same remaining elements necessary to the issuance of a preliminary injunction, this order bodes very well for the preliminary-injunction hearing, which is scheduled for July 19.
