First Opinion in an Argued Case in OT08:

That was quick -- the Supreme Court has handed down its first signed
opinion of the new Term, [1]Winter v. NRDC, a case argued just a month
ago about the standards for a preliminary injunction. In the
dog-bites-man department, the Court reversed a Ninth Circuit panel of
Reinhardt, Betty Fletcher, and Dorothy Nelson that had enjoined
aspects of U.S. Navy sonar training exercises. But what explains the
hurry in getting out the complicated set of opinions so quickly?
[2]SCOTUSblog explains:
The Court had heard argument in the case on Oct. 8, and moved
comparatively rapidly to prepare the opinions because the specific
round of sonar exercises the Navy is conducting are to be finished
by January, at the latest.
