Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other “Left, Right & Center” panelists explore whether Crimea’s vote to leave Ukraine for Russia is like Scotland’s referendum, Hillary Clinton in 2016, and the debate over the Republican future at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Scheer is joined on the right by Rich Lowry of the National Review, Slate.com’s Mike Pesca in the center and The Nation’s Katrina vanden Heuvel on the left.
