It’s voting day in Crimea, and people there who cast a ballot will vote to either A) Secede from Ukraine and re-join Russia, or B) Succeed and become an independent entity. An option to stay with Ukraine (status quo) isn’t even on the ballot.
The U.S. and other European countries are considering the vote illegal either way, and here’s something sure to get Obama’s Justice Department in a twist:

Paging Eric Holder!
