Mother Nature On Trail

The NYTimes does a story on the cases filling the Supreme Court docket in the coming year. I was struck by this passage on some environmental cases:

Federal courts in California have issued injunctions limiting the use of sonar in Navy training exercises off Southern California on the ground that it harms marine mammals. In Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council, No. 07-1239, the Bush administration argues that the training is vital to national security and that the courts should not interfere.

In Summers v. Earth Island Institute, No. 07-463, the court will consider who has standing to challenge environmental regulations. Winter and Summers will be argued on Wednesday, and decisions are expected by the spring.


Surely, that last line should be rewritten to read: "Winter and Summers will be argued this fall, and decisions are expected by the spring."
