A tweet from former NYS Assemblyman Dov Hikind went viral in seconds the past 30 minutes, claiming that the judge overruled NY Governor Cuomo and said that Shuls can be 50% capacity.
This is 100% false.
The Court has issued an Order setting a hearing for 1:30PM tomorrow and requiring the Governor to submit any opposition papers by 11:00AM tomorrow morning. (Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto, a George W. Bush appointee.)
Hikind later deleted the tweet and apologized.

That’s called a mistake. And he admitted it and corrected it. The term “fake news” should be reserved for deliberately trying to manipulate people with false reporting.
Dov made MANY mistakes during his long and glorious career!
Does anyone know the outcome of the hearing?
