This specific quote is from the Supreme Court decision in Ricci v. DeStefano (2009), which concerned a case of reverse discrimination against white firefighters. The court held that once a selection process has been established and the criteria made clear, employers cannot later invalidate the results based on the race of the candidates, as that would violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. The other cases listed do not pertain to invalidated employment tests for firemen.
