Putin, Obama battle over NSA leaker Edward Snowden
Russian President Vladimir Putin said NSA leaker Edward Snowden is a "free man."
Putin said Snowden is still in the transit area of Moscow's airport. Despite all those requests from the U.S., Putin says he still isn't handing Snowden over since the U.S. and Russia doesn't have an extradition agreement and Snowden hasn't committed any crimes on Russian soil.
How did the U.S. respond?
Secretary of State John Kerry warned of "consequences" against Russia if they allowed Snowden to escape.
"We are not looking for confrontation, we're not ordering anybody. We're simply requesting under a very normal procedure for the transfer of somebody," Kerry said.
What will it take for the U.S. to get Snowden back?

Supreme Court strikes down key part of Voting Rights Act
"Our country has changed" and with those four words, Chief Justice John Roberts and the court's four other conservatives struck down a key part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The law requires that nine states - mostly in the south and all with a history of discrimination at the polls get federal approval before changing their voting laws.
Today the court ruled that the formula used to determine which states are covered is outdated.
The Obama administration quickly expressed its disappointment with the ruling.
"I am deeply disappointed, deeply disappointed with the court's decision in this matter," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said. "This decision represents a serious setback for voting rights and has the potential to negatively affect millions of Americans across the country."
What does this ruling mean for the Civil Rights movement?
