this is the fourth time the 2010 law is reviewed by scotus. now with eight justices after the death of justice antonin scalia. that could provide difficulty for the challengers to get the notes to prevail here. >> we are praying for a miracle. it's a religious liberty issue. let the sisters do what they want. if they don't want to carry this, they shouldn't be forced to carry it. >> we believe in the basic principle that women should have the ability to make decisions, no in the bosses on what is the best healthcare for them. including birth control. scott: the counterprotesters outside the court argued a woman's right to healthcare should trump any liberty argument. the obama administration says the court views in favor of the women's group that tens of thousands of women would be disadvantaged. eight appeals court sided with the obama administration. one sided with the religious group. 4-4 outcome from the high court would result in legal patchwork with different rules in different partof

michelle: 'til marketers are notorious for being annoying but there is a good chance you are making a mistake when you try to remove yourself from the call list. consumer reporter john matarese explains the one thing you should never do so you don't waste your money. john: when the phone rings and it's an automated call you not expected, do you know what to do? do not follow the prompts to press one, two, or any number they tell you to. the phone rings. yep another automated telemarketing call. you have won a trip or can lower your credit card rate. blah, blah, blah. they then tell you to press one, two, zero to speak with an operator or six to be removed from the calling list. don't do it! website consumerist says by pushing any button you are letting the caller know you are a live person and you are

not fewer calls after that. so from the doesn't that stink file, what can happen when you push a button in response to a robo call? the caller puts the number on a list of live and potential future customers. some will sell the list to other telemarketers. doesn't that stink? consumerist says if you get an unwanted robo call, hang up as soon as possible. if you capture the number on the caller i.d. report it to the f.t.c. or the do not call list. my advice is don't let a robo caller know you are a live person. don't answer it. if you do, hang up so you don't waste your money. i'm john matarese, abc7 news. leon: tonight, the manhunt continues after the brussels terror attacks. reports of a warning ignored. a suspect set free months ago. >> fare and a grandfather -- as a father and grandfather i'm disgusted by the charges. leon: after a child porn scandal the local school's ceo goes on the offensive while dozen of t
