Has he? Where did you hear that?

This isn’t a decision on appeal, but another decision by the same trial judge that denied the preliminary injunction a few weeks ago.

I don’t think the ultra-Orthodox Jews who refuse to sit next to women on airplanes (as in the linked article) have much in common with the modern Orthodox synagogue this woman belongs to. Not that mainstream Orthodox Judaism doesn’t have its gender issues, but still.

I wasn’t so sure but even assuming she does, I also think the article should clarify that this is a trial court, since most states (and the U.S.) use “Supreme Court” to refer to the jurisdiction’s highest court.

Yes exactly, the judge’s ruling can be appealed.

Uh, not a U.S. Supreme Court judge. A New York state judge. New York state trial courts are called “Supreme Courts” (even though they are actually the lowest courts in NY, not the highest as you might think given the word “Supreme”).
