Re: "I don't get your objection. It isn't relevant to the points that where under discussion."

That's what *I said* about your post. <ggg>

When you were quoting about the federal judge's ruling, his statement [saying: presidential authority to order the military to seize and indefinitely detain civilians,” Judge Motz wrote, “even if the president calls them ‘enemy combatants,’ would have disastrous consequences for the Constitution — and the country.”] I couldn't see what in the Hell any of that had to do with the topic we were talking about --- the modern Dem/Rep political party duopoly.

That's why I said 'I don't get your first point.' You lead off with a statement relating to a federal judge's interpretation of the US Constitution, relating to the limits on the power of the Executive branch.

What does our constitutionally protected design of government, which counter-balances governmental powers between Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches... have to do with 'two political parties'?

(Nothing, said I.)

Re: "Parties are not mentioned in the Constitution."

Again... you are just repeating WHAT I SAID. HERE is where I said that in my post: (I can assure you... that latter is not even mentioned in the constitution. :-)
