This Friday Roundtable was preempted last Friday due to live coverage of the Supreme Court's historic decision on same-sex marriage.

Our Friday Roundtable guests look abroad — where the U.S. is managing a new diplomatic crisis over spying, the refugee crisis faced by Europe and Asia, Eurozone financial trouble, ISIS and Chinese ambitions in places like Africa and the South China Sea.
