The No Exceptions Doctrine
Abstract
This paper establishes the No Exceptions Doctrine, which holds that admissibility and standing admit no exceptions, exemptions, or special cases. Once the governing constraints are fixed, they apply uniformly and without context-sensitive override; any purported exception constitutes an admissibility violation rather than a legitimate boundary case. The argument is strictly eliminative and necessity-based, introducing no discretionary rules, override mechanisms, or contextual balancing frameworks. By ruling out exception-based reasoning entirely, the paper closes a pervasive class of scientific, philosophical, and governance practices that attempt to preserve favored outcomes by carving out special treatment where structural constraints have already been breached.
