Expanding on this, "courts have repeatedly emphasized, an injunction represents an 'extraordinary remedy' that is never awarded as a matter of right... For a preliminary injunction to issue, the moving party has the burden of demonstrating all four of the following elements: (1) that it is likely to succeed on the merits; (2) that it is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief; (3) that the balance of equities tips in its favor; and (4) that an injunction serves the public interest."

Parler failed the first test.

And likely the third and fourth as well. The judge mentions explicitly that they don't think reinstating Parler is in the public interest.

Clearly Parler will suffer irreparable harm here, but they failed by a good margin to meet any of the other tests here.
