Obama and Kerry on Ukraine, War in Afghanistan Hits Peak Unpopularity, Rand Paul Urges Voting Rights for Felons: P.M. Links

• President Obama
  warns that “there will be consequences” for those who resort to
  violence in Ukraine. Secretary of State John Kerry is
  expected to reiterate that the U.S. could impose economic
  sanctions. 
• 
  For the first time, more Americans (49 percent) oppose the War
  in Afghanistan than support it (48 percent), according to a Gallup
  poll. And it only took 13 years!
• Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) testified before Kentucky’s Senate State
  and Local Government Committee to advocate for the restoration of
  
  felons’ voting rights. Is this really a good
  issue to pick up before 2016?
• President Obama
  better not approve the Keystone XL pipeline, suggest
  environmentalist groups.
• New York Mayor Bill De Blasio (D) wants to stop taxi drivers
  from collecting fares
  if they speed. Please come back, Nanny Bloomberg.
• Missouri’s attorney general wants the power to
  indefinitely detain sex offenders. Who cares about
  Constitutional rights, by Jove, we’ve got to do this for the
  children.
