Obstructionist Dems protecting rapists.
"The Senate blocked Kirsten Gillibrand’s bill reforming how the military handles cases of sexual assault. By a vote of 55 to 45, the Senate failed to overcome a filibuster against Gillibrand’s proposal to move sexual-assault investigations out of the military’s chain of command and into the hands of independent prosecutors. Eleven Republicans backed Gillibrand's bill, including Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. Ten Democrats were opposed, including Carl Levin and Claire McCaskill. Afterward, McCaskill's bill to keep sexual assault prosecution overcame a filibuster and will be up for a final vote on Monday."

Democrats will bring terrorists from Gitmo to the US so they get constitutional rights and are not tried in military court but fuck the women soldiers. Fuck America! It's the liberal way!

What's misleading about our article re the Dems blocking Gillibrand’s bill?

A good rule of thumb for any federal bill is to assume it will do the exact opposite of what the stated intention is, which is usually found in the title.

The problem with the bill, the Military Justice Improvement Act didn't have a good, catchy acronym. MJIA just doesn't get anyone's juices going so I think it was a bit naive of her to believe it would actually pass.
Try again Kirsten and this time don't embarrass yourself.
