Gold 19Gold, Jeffrey and Devalve, Michael. (2019). Utilitarian and Deontological Approaches to Criminal Justice Ethics. 10.4324/9780429203626-3.\ Util dehumanizes disability and the curing of secondary pity to increase the disabled's "welfare"Stein 01 Mark is the author of Distributive Justice and Disability: Utilitarianism against Egalitarianism (Yale University Press, 2006) ~Stein, Mark S.

JF - 1 - TFWTournament: Strake | Round: 3 | Opponent: Memorial DX | Judge: Lindquist, Connor Interpretation – the affirmative must defend the hypothetical enactment of the resolution. This necessitates defending the implementation of a topical plan."Resolved" before a colon reflects a legislative forumArmy Officer School 4 (5-12, "~# 12, Punctuation—The Colon and Semicolon", http://usawocc.army.mil/IMI/wg12.htm) Vote negative to preserve limits and equitable division of ground – the resolution is the most predictable stasis point for debates, anything outside ofthat ruins prep and clash by allowing the affirmative to pick any grounds for debate. That greenlights a race away from the core topic controversies thatallow for robust contestation, which favors the aff by making neg ground inapplicable, susceptible to the perm, and concessionary. Two additionalimpacts:1. Accessibility – Cutting negs to every possible aff wrecks small schools, which has a disparate impact on under-resourced and minority debaters. Counter-interpretations are arbitrary, unpredictable, and don't solve the world of neg prep because there's no grounding in the resolution2. Link turns their education offense – getting to the third and fourth level of tactical engagement is only possible with refined and well-researched positions connected to the resolutional mechanism. Repeated debates over core issues incentivize innovative argument production and improved advocacy based on feedback and nuanced responses from opponents.3. Policy making – EXPLAIN. Turns your aff, cuz you need to create your own state, says it in ur last card, without communist policy maker it would never work, we are a pre req to the revolution3. TVA – EXPLAINThey can't get offense: we don't exclude them, only persuade you that our methodology is best. Every debate requires a winner and loser, so voting negative doesn't reject them from debate, it just says they should make a better argument next time.Paradigm issues:Drop the debater – their abusive advocacy skewed the debate from the startCompeting interps – reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention and a race to the bottom of questionable argumentation3. No RVI, illogical shouldn't win for being fair, and encourages bating theory and winning off the RVI.Fairness is a voter ¬– necessary to determine the better debaterEducation is a voter – why schools fund debate | 3/11/22 |
JF - 2 - Biopower v2Tournament: Coppell | Round: 1 | Opponent: Westwood BJ | Judge: Berdugo, Erick There are four links here. First: language of common heritage espoused by the affirmative upholds extractionist biopolitic that undergirds harms of case. Frames outer space as a resource to be divided up between national actors and other non-state entities. Fixes sovereignty in traditional ways. Plan protects sovereign from radical non-state actors who might utilize resources before the sovereign can. Second, plan creates a whole new set of subjectivities through an overarching technological rationality of surveillance and exploitation. Third, control of outer space through legal regimes furthers the perception of an objective countable world of administrative power that operates only materially without human input. Fallacy of governmentality. Finally, it defines humanity in a narrow rationality of enumeration and extraction that only furthers the crisis of subjectivity driving case harms.Craven 2019 ~Matt, Professor of International Law, SOAS University of London~ "'Other Spaces': Constructing the Legal Architecture of a Cold War Commons and the Scientific-Technical Imaginary of Outer Space," European Journal of International Law Vol. 30 no. 2 No value to life in a biopolitical framework—everyone is exposed to the possibility of being reduced to bare life in the name of instrumentality. Often on the lines of structural oppression turns the aff.Agamben 1998 ~Giorgio, professor of philosophy at university of Verona, Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life, pg. 139-140~ The role of the ballot becomes a negotiation of knowledge, a deciding of axes and boundaries.

I introduce bio-politics into the discussion and we understand the true diffuse nature of power which makes the statements made by the 1AC very problematic. The affirmative attempt to simplify it into basic terms of the mechanisms of power is inadequate. Problematization is key to activist movements, also challenges the effectiveness of non-reformist reformsTerwiel, 2020 (Anna, Professor of political theory at Trinity College that focuses on carceral feminism and prison abolition, "Problematization as an Activist Practice" Theory and Event, Vol 23 NO.1 January 2020 68-70 | 1/8/22 |
JF - 2 - MollowTournament: Strake | Round: 1 | Opponent: Trinity Prep ND | Judge: Schwerdtfeger, Eric Behold the image of the disgusting disabled child, which causes one to wince in the face of egoistic empathy. This is self-reflection, a process constitutive of the psyche that results in the disability drive, the culmination of primary pity where the non-disabled subject embodies itself in the position of the disabled object, and secondary pity, which portrays the ego's overcompensation to regain its position and pushes a desire from lack for the eradication of disability.Mollow 15 Anna (2015): The Disability Drive, A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kent Puckett, Chair Professor Celeste G. Langan Professor Melinda Y. Chen Spring 2015 https://digitalassets.lib.berkeley.edu/etd/ucb/text/Mollow_berkeley_0028E_15181.pdf SJCPJG The affirmative's politics are tied to a rehabilitative futurism where the signifier of the fantasmatic child is placed forward to eradicate and cure disability – this deems the disabled child a threat and excludes disability from the political. They don't get to weigh case – if we win their starting point is violent, they don't get to weigh their end point since we indict the process of how they got there.Mollow 2 Anna (2015): The Disability Drive, A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kent Puckett, Chair Professor Celeste G. Langan Professor Melinda Y. Chen Spring 2015 https://digitalassets.lib.berkeley.edu/etd/ucb/text/Mollow_berkeley_0028E_15181.pdf SJCPJG The starting point of the 1AC is epistemically flawed and an independent link – fiat is illusory and anything that doesn't begin from the question of disability allows for ableism to infiltrate modes of thought which means we're an epistemic prerequisite. Thus, the role of the ballot is to vote for the debater who best methodologically challenges ableism.Campbell 13 Fiona Kumari (2013): Problematizing Vulnerability: Engaging Studies in Ableism and Disability Jurisprudence, Fiona Kumari Campbell undertakes research in Studies in Ableism, coloniality, disability studies as well as explorations about Buddhist formations of disability. Trained in sociology, theology and legal studies; she is interested in ways that law, new technologies and the governance of marginal populations produces understandings of the productive citizen, normative bodies, ideas of periphery and ways that ablement privileges and entitles certain groups in society. Campbell is the author of Contours of Ableism: The Production of Disability and Abledness (Palgrave, 2009) and numerous other journal articles and book chapters. SJCPJG Vote negative to endorse an unwavering pessimism and radical failure – we reject the political and notions of futurism in exchange for an affirmation of disability's abjection as something beautiful.Selck 16 Michael (2016): Crip Pessimism: The Language of Dis/ability and the Culture that Isn't, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, SJCPJG Psychoanalysis is both falsifiable and accurate – studies prove.Grant and Harari 5 (Don and Edwin, psychiatrists, "Psychoanalysis, science and the seductive theory of Karl Popper," Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry) No perms: (a) view it as artificially distinct since it's key to fully flesh out the individual intricacies of both methods and create more concrete proposals (b) justifies infinite aff conditionality – allowings permutations allows infinite new 1AR advocacies which skews 7 mins of the 1NC and destroys neg ground (c) irreciprocal – we can't permute their methods which means they can always intrinsic perm or sever which destroys neg ground (d) illogical – the alt isn't fiated in the sense of the aff so endorsing a fiated world mixed with a pre-fiat orientation is incoherent (e) hold the 1AC method by itself since anything else endorses bad scholarship since it justifies severence – justifying both in the aff solves. | 12/18/21 |

ND - 2 - BiopowerTournament: Hebron | Round: 2 | Opponent: RoyCit LS | Judge: Scheufler, Nicholas 1The resolution itself is a link. First, it inserts governmentality by using the term "just government." This insertion of governmentality is the fetish of policy makers who think aggregate action is predictable and government is stable. Second, it creates a so-called "right" to strike. Rights to strike demand regulatory and policing apparatuses to uphold law and order. Strikes and labor negotiations are bio-political exercises in futility. Because of the diffuse nature of the market and the many interactions that make up exploitation of workers, the outcomes of striking and the imposition of a right to strike only hides the face of the sovereign and makes understanding bio-political relations impossible. Attempts to combine approaches create "disciplinary" pressure undermining bio-political analysis. Means perms fail.Kennedy 2014 ~Duncan, Pf Law Harvard~ "The Stakes of Law, or Hale and Foucault!" Harvard Legal Studies Forum http://iglp.law.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Duncan-Kennedy-Stakes-of-Law-excerpts.pdf/EM The plan's deployment of rights does not limit sovereign power, but rather reinforces the power of exception which legitimizes abuses in the first place. Turns case into a circular endeavor. No solvency and link. Also proves the perm will fail.Kohn 2006 (Margaret, assistant professor of political science at the University of Florida-Gainesville, "Bare Life and the Limits of the Law," Theory and Event 9.2 (2006): Project Muse) Every reform has a bio-political component which mutes its ability to address aggregate concerns. The assumption of aggregation is the problem. Reform efforts are excuses to create a "civilian military assemblage" that increases state power. This thwarts the innovative potential of the affirmative and causes bio-political failure.Ryan, 2016 (Barry, Senior Lecturer in International Relations at Keele University, "Becoming Motenegrin: biopower, police reform and human rights." The International Journal of Human Rights 21 March 2016) 3-5 No value to life in a biopolitical framework—everyone is exposed to the possibility of being reduced to bare life in the name of instrumentalityAgamben 1998 ~Giorgio, professor of philosophy at university of Verona, Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life, pg. 139-140~ Biopolitics creates endless cycles of violence and slaughter in the sake of the Bios– this makes genocide and extinction inevitable.Foucault 78 (Michel Foucault, French philosopher, historian of ideas, social theorist, and literary critic, Degree from University of Paris, "The History of Sexuality", p. 1-164, https://caringlabor.wordpress.com/2010/08/06/michel-foucault-right-of-death-and-power-over-life/) For a long time, one of the characteristic privileges of sovereign power was the right to decide life and death. In a formal sense, it derived no doubt from the ancient patria potestas that granted the father of the Roman family the right to "dispose" of the life of his children and his slaves; just as he had given them life, so he could take it away. By the time the right of life and death was framed by the classical theoreticians, it was in a considerably diminished form. It was no longer considered that this power of the sovereign over his subjects could be exercised in an absolute and unconditional way, but only in cases where the sovereign's very existence was in jeopardy: a sort of right of rejoinder. If he were threatened by external enemies who sought to overthrow him or contest his rights, he could then legitimately wage war, and require his subjects to take part in the defense of the state; without "directly proposing their death," he was empowered to "expose their life": in this sense, he wielded an indirect power over them of life and death. But if someone dared to rise up against him and transgress his laws, then he could exercise a direct power over the offender's life: as punishment, the latter would be put to death. Viewed in this way, the power of life and death was not an absolute privilege: it was conditioned by the defense of the sovereign and his own survival. Must we follow Hobbes in seeing it as the transfer to the prince of the natural right possessed by every individual to defend his life even if this meant the death of others? Or should it be regarded as a specific right that was manifested with the formation of that new juridical being, the sovereign? In any case, in its modern form—relative and limited—as in its ancient and absolute form, the right of life and death is a dissymmetrical one. The sovereign exercised his right of life only by exercising his right to kill, or by refraining from killing; he evidenced his power over life only through the death he was capable of requiring. The right which was formulated as the "power of life and death" was in reality the right to take life or let live. Its symbol, after all, was the sword. Perhaps this juridical form must be referred to a historical type of society in which power was exercised mainly as a means of deduction (prelevement), a subtraction mechanism, a right to appropriate a portion of the wealth, a tax of products, goods and services, labor and blood, levied on the subjects. Power in this instance was essentially a right of seizure: of things, time, bodies, and ultimately life itself; it culminated in the privilege to seize hold of life in order to suppress it. Since the classical age the West has undergone a very profound transformation of these mechanisms of power. "Deduction" has tended to be no longer the major form of power but merely one element among others, working to incite, reinforce, control, monitor, optimize, and organize the forces under it: a power bent on generating forces, making them grow, and ordering them, rather than one dedicated to impeding them, making them submit, or destroying them. There has been a parallel shift in the right of death, or at least a tendency to align itself with the exigencies of a life-administering power and to define itself accordingly. This death that was based on the right of the sovereign is now manifested as simply the reverse of the right of the social body to ensure, maintain, or develop its life. Yet wars were never as bloody as they have been since the nineteenth century, and all things being equal, never before did regimes visit such holocausts on their own populations. But this formidable power of death—and this is perhaps what accounts for part of its force and the cynicism with which it has so greatly expanded its limits—now represent itself as the counterpart of a power that exerts a positive influence on life, that endeavors to administer, optimize, and multiply it, subjecting it to precise controls and comprehensive regulations. Wars are no longer waged in the name of a sovereign who must be defended: they are waged on behalf of the existence of everyone; entire populations are mobilized for the purpose of wholesale slaughter in the name of life necessity: massacres have become vital. It is as managers of life and survival, of bodies and the race, that so many regimes have been able to wage so many wars, causing so many men to be killed. And through a turn that closes the circle, as the technology of wars has caused them to tend increasingly toward all-out destruction, the decision that initiates them and the one that terminates them are in fact increasingly informed by the naked question of survival. The atomic situation is now at the end point of this process: the power to expose a whole population to death is the underside of the power to guarantee an individual's continued existence. The principle underlying the tactics of battle—that one has to be capable of killing in order to go on living—has become the principle that defines the strategy of states. But the existence in question is no longer the juridical existence of sovereignty; at stake is the biological existence of a population. If genocide is indeed the dream of modern powers, this is not because of a recent return of the ancient right to kill; it is because power is situated and exercised at the level of life, the species, the race, and the large-scale phenomena of population.

Furthermore, subjects are always experiencing relation, which itself changes.Affect is constitutive: it is the capacity to experience and to be experienced. I am experiencing my laptop, my opponent, just as much as you are experiencing me. There is no way any person or thing can escape affection.Fluidity determines the subject: because affect and instability ensure that subjects always change, the only intrinsic feature of the subject is that everything remains in flux.The illusion of a whole subject is dangerous: emphasis on a singular model allows for systems of power to homogenize movements, killing the essence of the self. Restricting affect is eradicates the subject itself.The catalyst for change was the Middle Passage and years of colonialism: the careful creation of false dichotomies between oppressed populations and the oppressor serves those in power by instilling a sense of helplessness.The myth of the colonizer is predicated upon whiteness being represented as wholly True, pure, and dialectically opposed to everyone that isn't white. Upholding such false dichotomies enables material and invisible violences.Yancy 1 ~George; "Black Bodies White Gazes"; 2017; Rowman and Littlefield; Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Philosophy at Emory University.
