“So does Gillebrand want cases to come before NOW instead of the military mechanism?”
No - just an independent military prosecutor.
For those keeping track - Graham voted against the measure, Rubio didn’t vote, and Paul and Cruz voted with Gillibrand. Cruz appeared with Gillibrand to talk about his support for the amendment.

This is one instance where BO did do enough, he left it with the chain of command where it belongs. He didn’t upend the whole system to cover a few odd cases in exchange for something worse. Go to hell, Gillabrand.
