Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other “Left, Right & Center” panelists discuss the sanctions between Russia and the U.S. that resulted from the former country’s annexation of Crimea, the NSA program that records all phone calls to one country, and the Supreme Court’s pending decision over whether a hobbies chain has the right not to cover contraception in its insurance for employees.

Joining Scheer is Slate’s Mike Pesca in the center, the National Review’s Rich Lowry on the right and special guest Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor and legal correspondent for Slate.
