The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a family whose push to build a new house on wetlands was challenged under the EPA's Clean Water Act, weakening a water pollution law. CBS News legal contributor Jessica Levinson has more on the impact of the ruling.

This was a 9-0 decision on the core holding that the Idaho landowners didn't violate the act. There was then a split plurality for deciding what the ongoing standard is, but all 9 agreed that the current definition is unworkable. This wasn't a "conservative" decision, it was a recognition that the CWA is indefinite on the term wetlands and that the definition that the EPA has been using is not in conformity with the constitution or the enabling legislation.
