Through 17 debates this year, roughly 1,500 questions have been asked of the two parties' presidential candidates. But only a small handful of questions have touched on the candidates' views on executive power, the Constitution, torture, wiretapping, or other civil liberties concerns. (A description of those questions appears at the end of this column.)

That's true, they avoid the civil liberties and Constitutional issues more than others in debates. Coincidentally, this seems to be an area with more bipartisan support for bills than most other areas.
