FILE - In this June 30, 2014 file photo, demonstrators stand on the steps outside the Supreme Court in Washington, where the court was poised to deliver its verdict in a case that weighs the religious rights of employers and the right of women to the birth control of their choice. The Supreme Court is wading into its fourth dispute over President Barack Obama’s 5-year-old health care overhaul.
