JF - T - Must Provide ImplementationTournament: Lexington | Round: 4 | Opponent: Acton Boxborough AA | Judge: Scott Brown Interp: The affirmative debater must defend the hypothetical world in which private appropriation of outer space is limited or stopped. Defending implementation is a logical extension of the rez because if private appropriation is unjust that means we ought to enact its removal."Resolved" means enactment of a law.Words and Phrases 64 Words and Phrases Permanent Edition (Multi-volume set of judicial definitions). "Resolved". 1964. AND ," which is defined by Bouvier as meaning "to establish by law". Violation- CX is clear, aff won’t defend implementation.Standards:Ground- I lose access to all policy based disadvantages because you refuse to defend implementation. I can’t go for the Mining DA, the Innovation DA, almost every cp, solvency turns, etc in order to answer the aff, you’ll just delink my offense in the 1ar by claiming implementation is irrelevant. Few impacts:A. link turns phil good- you stop a key part of philosophy discussion about util because the neg has no incentive to read a util framework since it can’t generate offense under that framing.B. Kills key neg ground because certain principles like adhering to free speech are good in the abstract; it only makes sense taking everything into context. Ground is key to fairness since equal access to arguments controls equal access to the ballot.C. Pigeonholes the negative out of util even that is my best layer. Aff shouldn’t be able to make the debate just phil because they are most comfortable on that layer.D. Kills policy ed- in your world we can never have any discussion of policies. Policy education is an independent voter since it is a skill that we can apply to the real world outweighs phil ed on reversibility. Also outweighs on size of link—we still can have phil debates in my interp.2. TVA- just defend implementation. You can still read phil in my world that claims implementation is irrelevant, just allow the neg to read a framework that claims implementation is relevant and garner offense on arguments that depend on it.It’s DTD - I indict their whole advocacy, plus deters future abuse.Competing interps over reasonability because reasonability is arbitrary and justifies judge interventionNo RVI’s - a~ affs can just bait T and then dump offense in the 1AR - infinitely abusive b~ you don’t get to win by meeting the logical burden of being fair | 1/15/22 |
