| Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand |
Senator
Kirsten Gillibrand has again introduced her bill to shift the disposition power from commanders to lawyers outside the chain of command, according to
this report. Excerpt:
"We're not seeing the system get better," New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said.
This is the fifth time New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has introduced her bill called the Military Justice Improvement Act.
She said she hasn't been given a vote on the bill in nearly two and a half years.
"It is something that people think is debatable, it is something that people think is unanimous and a lot of people don't want to take on the generals. When the generals say no they want to leave it the way it is and I think that is the wrong instinct," Gillibrand added.
