Our CNN justice correspondent Pamela Brown joins us with more on this. Good morning.</s>PAMELA BROWN, CNN JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT: Good morning to you, Carol. This is a very big case this term. The Supreme Court ruling in favor of victims of terrorism and their families, clearing the way for them to collect nearly $2 billion from the Central Bank of Iran. In fact Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg writing for a 6-2 majority</s>COSTELLO: So does this at all affect the 9/11 family members and their efforts?</s>BROWN: Not really. Because the statute, this 2012 law that Congress passed was specifically aimed at these cases, the 1983 bombings and other Iran linked terrorism cases saying that assets should be freed up and money should be freed up for these specific survivors and family members. So it doesn't really have a link to that 9/11 bill. Carol.</s>COSTELLO: All right. Pamela Brown reporting live for us from Washington. Thank you.
