Sitting silent would not solve that objection.
The difference is significant, if the President opposes because he is against indefinte detention he is being about the last firewall against the destruction of the Constitution and damn near a thousand years of advancements in civil liberties OR he is leading the bandwagon and raised objection only because provisions restricted Executive privilege.
Why isn't Obama being clearer than crystal? If Levin is bearing false witness then why aren't his legs being kicked out from under him? Why is the President not going after the Senator as a fucking liar and a traitor to his oath to uphold the Constitution and making it beyond a shadow of doubt that he will oppose this to the very end?
This isn't trivial or a joke, I can think of few hills more worth dying on.
