Breaking news from the AP: U.S. Supreme Court rules for white firefighters

Video: NBC's Pete Williams reports on the Supreme Court decision in favor of the white firefighters.

The decision was 5-4.

This, of course, overturns a ruling by a 2nd Circuit panel that included Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.
