NSD21 - NC - HobbesTournament: NSD Camp Tournament | Round: 2 | Opponent: EvaSin OL | Judge: Stephen Scopa Ethics is based in language –1~ It creates out ability to think and makes us agents – life outside language is deterministic, Pettit 09,Phillip Pettit. Made With Words, Hobbes on Language, Mind, and Politics. 2009. http://www.jstor.com/stable/j.ctt7rp73.3 LHPYA AND to distinguish men from all other living creatures."(L 3.11). 2~ It’s inescapable – even if moral theorization could occur absent language it can only be communicated within it when getting others to act on it to create goodnessAnd language causes infinite violence –1~ Language gives rise to comparison which results in endless competition and violence. Pettit 2,Phillip Pettit. Made With Words, Hobbes on Language, Mind, and Politics. 2009. http://www.jstor.com/stable/j.ctt7rp73.3 LHPYA AND becomes a creature "whose joy consisteth in comparing himself with other men" 2~ Language is structurally negative and doesn’t refer to reality – if I say a saw an oak tree you know I didn’t see a car or person but you can’t visualize what I did see – since our rationality is based in language truth is created by individuals rather than extrinsically found but that creates infinite violence over meaning creation. Parrish:Derrida`s Economy of Violence in Hobbes` Social Contract, Richard Parrish AND regarding whether or not a specific situation fits a commonly-held definition. Thus, morality requires an authority to enforce a universal moral theory and resolve conflict. Only an absolute sovereign can do this. Parrish 2:Derrida`s Economy of Violence in Hobbes` Social Contract, Richard Parrish AND all directions" and fall inevitably into the violence of the natural condition." Thus, the standard is consistency with the will of the sovereign. Prefer it on motivation – morality lacks authority over agents. Even if the aff defines the good it gives no way to obligate agents to actually be good. That hijacks the aff since defining good and denying the ability to enforce it the sovereign creates is contradictory.That negates –1~ The aff obligates the state to act – this is incoherent because it implies an authority higher than the state to constrain the sovereign. Only sovereign entities can create moral obligations, so the state can’t have an obligation to act.2~ The aff changes the status quo of how the government operates – obviously the government does not want to act this way so forcing it on them is a violation of sovereignty3~ Public sector workers getting the right to strike would create a right against the state which is impossible because the state has infinite power | 7/8/21 |
NSD21 - NC - KantTournament: NSD Camp Tournament | Round: 6 | Opponent: WesErd AM | Judge: Jalyn Wu The meta-ethic is practical reason.A~ Bindingness – Any obligation must not only tell us what is good, but why we ought to be good or else agents can reject the value of goodness itself. That means ethics must start with what is constitutive of agents since it traces obligations to features that are intrinsic to being an agent – as an agent you must follow certain rules. Only practical agency is constitutive since agents can use rationality to decide against other values but the act of deciding to reject practical agency engages in it.B~ Action theory – every moral analysis requires an action to evaluate, but actions are infinitely divisible into smaller meaningless movements. The act of stealing can be reduced to going to a house, entering, grabbing things, and leaving, all of which are distinct actions without moral value. Only the practical decision to steal ties these actions together to give them any moral value.That justifies universalizability.A~ The principle of equality is true since anything else assigns moral value to contingent factors like identity and justifies racism, and the principle of non-contradiction is true since 2+2 can’t equal 4 for me and not for you meaning ethical statements true for one must be true for all.B~ Ethics must be defined a priori because of the is ought gap – experience only tells us what is since that’s what we perceive, not what ought to be. But it’s impossible to derive an ought from descriptive premises, so there needs to be additional a priori premises to make a moral theory. Applying reason to a priori truth results in universal obligations.And, universal freedom justifies a libertarian minimalist sateOTTESON 9 brackets in original James R. Otteson (professor of philosophy and economics at Yeshiva University) "Kantian Individualism and Political Libertarianism" The Independent Review, v. 13, n. 3, Winter 2009 AND in the absence of invasions or threats of invasions, it is inactive. Thus, the standard is consistency with libertarianism. Prefer – it is a side constraint on ethics – deliberation, argumentation, or any sort of ethical action presumes the goodness of self ownership – making the nc a necessary starting point, Hoppe:~Hans-Hermann Hoppe, The Economics and Ethics of Private Property, p. 334. Bracketed for gendered language.~ LHP AG AND so would already imply acceptance of the very norm which he was disputing." Vote neg –1~ A right to strike claims a right to a specific job, which is a positive right incoherent under the framework, Gourevitch 16 summarizes, bracketed for gendered language:Gourevitch, A.. "Quitting Work but Not the Job: Liberty and the Right to Strike." Perspectives on Politics 14 (2016): 307 - 323. LHP AV Accessed 7/4/21 AND job she not only never acquired but that she then refuses to perform. 2~ The right to strike necessarily involves violating the right to property and contract – it’s coercive, Gourevitch 16 summarizes:Gourevitch, A.. "Quitting Work but Not the Job: Liberty and the Right to Strike." Perspectives on Politics 14 (2016): 307 - 323. LHP AV Accessed 7/4/21 AND Just what right do workers have to jobs that they refuse to perform? | 7/9/21 |
NSD21 - NC - LibertarianismTournament: NSD Camp Tournament | Round: 3 | Opponent: JosPla CB | Judge: Breigh Plat Objective morality is epistemically inaccessible –A~ Rule-Following Paradox – there is nothing inherent in a rule that mandates following a specific interpretation. They are always subject to interpretation by the observer, which means an objective moral rule would get interpreted differently by different agentsB~ Moral Disagreement – thousands of years of moral disagreement prove that not everyone aagrees on a moral theory. Also means even if there is a universal theory, it’s not binding as proven by every past act of immoralityC~ Epistemic Bias – governments are skewed by power relationships in society, so them enforcing a universal moral theory would inevitably be biased and unable to account for views of minoritiesThe solution is the libertarian utopia – only the neg framework preserves people’s freedom to pursue their conception of truth, Mack 18:Eric Mack, June 15, 2018, "Robert Nozick’s Political Philosophy" https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/nozick-political/~~#FraDisPro LHP AV AND chosen communities will be internally homogeneous with heterogeneity existing only across these communities.) Thus, the standard is consistency with libertarianism.The right to strike necessarily involves violating the right to property and contract – it’s coercive, Gourevitch 16 summarizes:Gourevitch, A.. "Quitting Work but Not the Job: Liberty and the Right to Strike." Perspectives on Politics 14 (2016): 307 - 323.

NSD21 - PIC - PoliceTournament: NSD Camp Tournament | Round: 6 | Opponent: WesErd AM | Judge: Jalyn Wu Counterplan: A just government ought to recognize the unconditional right of workers to strike except for police officers.Police Strikes are used to combat racial progress and attempts to limit police power. Making them legal and easier only make progress much harder.Andrew Grim 2020 What is the ‘blue flu’ and how has it increased police power? https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/07/01/what-is-blue-flu-how-has-it-increased-police-power/ AND wrest back control of the public debate on policing and reassert their independence. Those strikes cement a police culture which leads to endless amounts of racist violence and the bolstering of the prison industrial complex.Chaney and Ray 13, Cassandra (Has a PhD and is a professor at LSU. Also has a strong focus in the structure of Black families) , and Ray V. Robertson (Also has a PhD and is a criminal justice professor at LSU). "Racism and police brutality in America." Journal of African American Studies 17.4 (2013): 480-505. SMdo I really need a card for this AND shape both intergroup dynamics and support for criminal justice policy (Leverentz 2012). | 7/9/21 |

NSD21 - T - US Not JustTournament: NSD Camp Tournament | Round: 3 | Opponent: JosPla CB | Judge: Breigh Plat TInterpretation: the affirmative must defend that only just governments ought to recognize the right to strikeJust governments respect libertiesDorn 12 James A. Dorn, Cato Journal, "The Scope of Government in a Free Society", Fall 2012, https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/serials/files/cato-journal/2012/12/v32n3-10.pdf AND people’s money, but to prevent injustice by protecting property and securing liberty. US HR violations don’t secure libertiesAmnesty International, 4-14-2021, "Everything you need to know about human rights in United States of America," No Publication, https://www.amnesty.org/en/countries/americas/united-states-of-america/report-united-states-of-america/ AND carrying of firearms is permitted engaged protesters, causing at least four deaths. Prefer –1~ Precision — anything else justifies the aff arbitrarily jettisoning words in the resolution at their whim which decks negative ground and preparation because the aff is no longer bounded by the resolution.2~ Limits – there are 200 governments in the world – letting them pick an unjust ones explodes limits via infinite permutations of governments3~ Phil ed – 1AR will claim no government is just but that just means that we defend ideal theory. That’s good –A~ forces philosophical contestation which can uniquely happen in LD debate whereas you can util debate on any topicB~ outweighs – framework debate allows to identify injustice which is a prereq to any other theory voter because they’re all philosophically grounded | 7/8/21 |
NSD21 - Theory - O-SpecTournament: NSD Camp Tournament | Round: 3 | Opponent: JosPla CB | Judge: Breigh Plat Interp: the aff cannot both specify a government and a type of worker. To clarify, either is fine in isolationViolation: they specify both the US and teachers.1~ Limits – this topic is already super broad with 200 countries and infinite kinds of workers – the only functional limit is not specing both because at least the other area then becomes a generic I can read – their interp forces no generics – hold the line on limits on this topic because it’s super broad – leads to cherry picking and 0 neg research that destroys the negative.2~ Ground – specing both allows unique and specific effects of one country’s specific form of worker to make neg offense nonspecific – that’s the basis for any negative response.3~ TVA – only spec one | 7/8/21 |
