Evidence

Definition: Evidence = information tending to establish fact,visible, conspicuous. What can one think of the assertion of the idea of 'secret evidence' as, perhaps, a misnomer or the political rationalization of the despot or the tyrant. How are The Bush Restoration and The Obama Administration striking similar? They both believe and one asserted and the other asserts a belief in the existence of 'secret evidence' as politically actual, as legally actionable. How would Publius opine on this assertion of Executive Power to determine the reality of a legal entity, viewed by a select few; unchecked by the adversarial give and take of the courtroom?

About stephenkmacksd

Rootless cosmopolitan,down at heels intellectual;would be writer. 'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.' https://www.lrb.co.uk/v15/n20/perry-anderson/diary
