Sens. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz have joined an upstart effort to remove the chain of command from military sexual assault cases, POLITICO has learned.
The tea party favorites give the bill’s lead sponsor, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, critical conservative cover as she battles the Pentagon and hawks in both parties on her proposal to create a new prosecution system for major military crimes.
Paul is scheduled to attend a press conference Tuesday in the Capitol with Gillibrand and other bill backers, including Sens. Chuck Grassley and Barbara Boxer, to discuss his new position, which inches the New York Democrat closer to the 51 votes she hopes is all she’ll need when her proposal comes up for debate as early as next week.

It seemed Gillibrand’s proposal was picking up momentum amid a series of high-profile incidents involving military officials and sexual misconduct grabbed headlines, but it failed in a committee vote in June that didn’t break along traditional party lines.
The Pentagon has kept up a fierce lobbying campaign behind the scenes, but Gillibrand and her supporters believe the measure can fare better on the full Senate floor with senators less tied to the military.
another of those many things set in place years ago by right wing to allow assaults and then have the ability to countermand the verdict, think it was probably more designed for the officers then it spread to non coms IMO by fear of exposure of their own indiscretions, David Patraeus?
