3/6: Senate blocks change to military sexual assault cases; Russian navy blocks Ukrainian warships
The Senate came within five votes of passing a major change to the military's command structure. An amendment by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., would have stripped commanders of authority over sexual assault cases and put everything in the hands of seasoned military trial lawyers; and, the Russian navy sank one of its own decommissioned warships across the mouth of an inlet, trapping Ukrainian ships at their dock further up the channel.
