senator kirsten gillibrand has support from nearly half the senate. but her proposal is stalled. the pentagon opposes the plan. opponents insist that commanders, not an outside military lawyer, must be accountable in such cases. the senate is expected to take up the bill this week. >> >> it has only been on the market for a couple of days but already, sony is reporting that they have sold more than 1 million of the new place station 4 a game consoles. the ps 4 went on sale friday and the united states and canada. sony says that it expects to sell 5 million of them by the end of march next year.

democrats think very highly of kirsten gillibrand, the way she has worked so hard behind the scenes and worked across the aisle to persuade people to support her approach to this. she's refused to give in or to compromise with the other approach that was offered, and she's really drawn support from a lot of unexpected quarters. i think with senator reid offering his support now, that's a big deal and that could potentially move some votes into her column as well. >> manu, as you know not taking sides is the white house. jay carney wouldn't say which bill the president supports. considering the armed services chairman, carl levin and claire mccaskill are pushing their plan, how do you think this plays out? >> i don't think it's going to pass. she's going to need 60 votes. even if she does get 60 votes, getting that through a house senate conference committee is extremely grim. given the opposition from a lot of the defense hawks, from the pentagon to her proposal, there probably will be some changes to how the military prosecutes

when kirsten gillibrand is on the same side as rand paul, that's quite something. and it goes on and on down the line. we have senator grassley's support. by the way, 17 of the 20 women support the gillibrand amendment. i hope that's a message. that is the right way to go. and i'm going to explain it. now, my involvement in this is deep and long. 20 years ago, we were all outraged to learn that nearly 100 women and men had been sexually harassed and assaulted by a group of naval aviators during a convention of the tailhook association. i think a lot of us remember that who were around then. and i was a new senator at the time and i was completely shocked at what happened. they had a gauntlet, people walked through it. they were who are as the. they were hurt. they were distraught when it was over. so in the wake of the tailhook scandal, senior military leaders promised to crack down on the crime of sexual assault with then-secretary of defense dick cheney declaring a zero tolerance policy. so i want to show you how many times different secretaries of defense, democ

gillibrand who is the sponsor of the major bill that talks about chain of command, they disagree on this piece. >> they completely disagree on this central focus of gillibrand's amendment is she wants to take control away from commanders. think about it this way, if someone is raped in the military, they essentially have to go to their commander and the commander decides to prosecute. claire mccaskill wants -- and the majority of the military, certainly the pentagon, wants to keep it in the chain of command because they say it's the commander who really has to look after the good order and discipline in their ranks. nerd, they want to know what's -- in other words, they want to know what's going on. a good example, one of the victims said, look, it's like the commander has to decide between the brother and sister in the family, is the brother more senior, does he trust the brother more? does he know the guy who is fully decorated and been in battle and maybe the victim, he doesn't know as well. so gillibrand's amendment really goes to the heart of that and she's getting a lot of sup
