Argumentative argument

Here's a new granted issue posted on CAAF's web site today. I've been critical of many of the questions presented from this term. This is a GREAT q.p. which provides sufficient detail to engage the reader:

WHETHER THE TRIAL COUNSEL COMMITTED PLAIN ERROR DURING HIS SENTENCING ARGUMENT BY COMPARING APPELLANT TO OSAMA BIN LADEN AND ADOLPH HITLER AND BY APPEALING TO POTENTIAL RELIGIOUS BIASES OF THE MILITARY JUDGE BY COMPARING APPELLANT TO THE DEVIL AND ARGUING THAT APPELLANT IS GOING TO HELL.

United States v. Erickson, No. 06-0715/AF. That issue is virtually self-granting. The opinion below is at 63 M.J. 504 (A.F. Ct. Crim. App. 2006).
