Thanks DD. FWIW I also found this on wiki which provides 2 other possible reasons.

"In the United States, in order to obtain a temporary restraining order, a plaintiff must prove four elements: (1) likelihood of success on the merits; (2) irreparable harm,absent the order; (3) that less harm will result to the defendant if the TRO issues than to the plaintiffs if the TRO does not issue; and (4) that the public interest, if any, weighs in favor of plaintiff.[1] If the balance of hardships tips in favor of plaintiff, then the plaintiff must only raise "questions going to the merits so serious, substantial, difficult and doubtful, as to make them fair ground for litigation and thus for more deliberative investigation."[2]"
