US Supreme Court backs reverse discrimination case

The U.S. Supreme Court today ruled in a reverse discrimination case involving 20 firefighters - 19 white and one Latino - in New Haven Connecticut, that may have wide-ranging impacts on discrimination in employment law. The case might also help fuel conservatives´ opposition to supreme court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, as today's decision in Ricci v. DeStefano ruled against an earlier ruling Sotomayor upheld as an appellate judge. FSRN's Melinda Tuhus reports.
