JANFEB T - Appropriation vs PTDTournament: Palm | Round: 4 | Opponent: West Ranch SV | Judge: Lauren Woodall Interpretation: appropriation involves permanent, exclusive use of land and resource extraction. The aff must defend that appropriation of outer space by private entities is unjust.Stephen Gorove, Stephen Gorove (1917-2001) was a space law education pioneer. He served as a professor of space law and director of space studies and policy, from 1991-1998, at the University of Mississippi., 1969 " Interpreting Article II of the Outer Space Treaty" Fordham Law Review, https://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1966andcontext=flr Violation – application of PTD to space isn't permanent, it's context dependent and depends on cost benefit analysisWEF n.d. — ("Public Trust Doctrine." Water Education Foundation, The Water Education Foundation is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to provide unbiased, balanced information on water issues in California and the Southwestern United States. The Foundation's mission, since its founding in 1977, has been "to create a better understanding of water resources and foster public understanding and resolution of water resource issues through facilitation, education and outreach," https://www.watereducation.org/aquapedia/public-trust-doctrine, HKR-AS) Plan text in a vacuum bad for fairness because it allows for incongruency between 99 of the aff and 1 of the aff – the worst version of their model is that the plan text is different from the advantage, so it makes no sense – hold them to reading a plan text defined contextually with the advantageVote neg –1~ Ground – allowing affs to not defend permanent appropriation kills negative ground – we can't read the innovation DA, since they can say innovative appropriation efforts are allowed, we can't read asteroid mining or disads to specific types of appropriation since they can defend an exemption for that, etc. – Since the government gets to interpret whether or not the PTD applies to appropriation in specific instances, the negative can't reasonably predict what the aff defends restricting and what it doesn't. Ground controls the internal link to clash and fairness since the aff makes being neg impossible.T is a voting issue that should be evaluated through competing interps – it tells the negative what to prepare for and reasonability invites judge intervention | 3/5/22 |
NOVDEC DA - Debt Ceiling v3Tournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 7 | Opponent: Strake Jesuit MS | Judge: Gordon Krauss Passes now, but floor time is keySheffey 11/18 ~Ayelet, staff reporter for Business Insider with a focus on Capitol Hill. "Mitch McConnell shrugs off Trump’s taunts and attempts to defuse the debt ceiling crisis" https://www.businessinsider.nl/mitch-mcconnell-shrugs-off-trumps-taunts-and-attempts-to-defuse-the-debt-ceiling-crisis/~~ AND stressed the need for the matter to be addressed in a bipartisan way. Manchin and Sinema would fight the plan – that’s a massive floor time suckHarold 21 ~Zack, staf reporter for The Guardian, "US minimum wage activists face their toughest foe: Democrat Joe Manchin" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/feb/22/us-15-dollar-minimum-wage-joe-manchin-west-virginia~~ AND want the minimum wage increase to be part of the Covid relief package.

What's at stake if the debt limit isn't raised", 9/8/21, https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/08/business/debt-ceiling-default-explained/index.html~~ AND billion in fiscal 2020, would quickly rival what Washington spends on defense.

NOVDEC DA - Oil SpillsTournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 6 | Opponent: Marlborough JH | Judge: Patrick Fox Low wages and labor law exemptions are key for pandemic and national disaster response, the AFF makes this impossible – even the NAACP isn’t supporting strike tactics and advocates for "gentle advice"Kutz 21 (Jessica Kutz – Assistant Editor for High Country News who is interviewing Carlee Purdum who researches incarcerated labor conditions and trends, "The essential — and dangerous — work prisoners do: Incarcerated people respond to pandemics, wildfires, avian flu outbreaks, mudslides and more", https://www.hcn.org/articles/south-labor-the-essential-and-dangerous-work-prisoners-do, 23 April 2021, EmmieeM) AND visible and to hold those agencies accountable for how they are treating people. Lack of quick oil spill response (OSR) is an existential threat – innovative clean-up tech has slowed and barriers prevent alternate prevention measures or different actors solving, citing meta analysis of studies and spills from 67’ to nowLittle et al 21 (David I. Little (Environmental Consultancy @ Cambridgeshire), Stephen R.J. Sheppard (Collaboration for Advanced Landscape Planning and Department of Forest Resource Management @ Faculty of Foresty @ University of British Columbia), David Hulme (Global Development Institute @ University of Manchester), "A perspective on oil spills: What we should have learned about global warming", https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0964569120304166, Ocean and Coastal Management, Volume 202, 1 March 2021, EmmieeM) AND avoid the conclusion that industry, governments and people must now rapidly decarbonise. | 3/5/22 |
NOVDEC T - ATournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 6 | Opponent: Marlborough JH | Judge: Patrick Fox Interpretation—the aff may not specify a just governmentRules readings are always generalized – specific instances are not consistent. Cohen 01Ariel Cohen (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev), "On the Generic Use of Indefinite Singulars," Journal of Semantics 18:3, 2001 https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/188590876.pdf** AND , it suddenly changes¶ direction, for example to avoid hitting something. That outweighs—only our evidence speaks to how indefinite singulars are interpreted in the context of normative statements like the resolution. This means throw out aff counter-interpretations that are purely descriptiveViolation—they specified the United StatesVote neg:1~ Precision –any deviation 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—specifying a just government offers huge explosion in the topic since they get permutations of hundreds of governments in the world depending on their definition of "just government".TVA Solves — read it as an advantage Topicality is a voting issue that should be evaluated through competing interpretations – it tells the negative what they do and do not have to prepare forNo RVIs—it’s your burden to be topical. | 3/5/22 |

SEPTOCT K - Cap v Gender HackingTournament: Valley | Round: 5 | Opponent: MSJ SB | Judge: Spencer Orlowski CAPThe aff ignores the effects of capitalism on identities — sexual identity was marked as less valuable because queer bodies could not reproduce in the same way heterosexual bodies could — we are winning a sequencing argument that should frame how you view the 1ar responsesHennessy 2k AND into the power of more obvious and perhaps more compelling ways of seeing. Sexual rights rely on a neoliberal conception of negative freedom that defines autonomy as consumption independent of state regulation – this precludes an intersectional analysis that can achieve equality and justice better than the AFFs token inclusionMullins 8—Greg, is author of Colonial Affairs: Bowles, Burroughs, and Chester Write Tangier.

They don't get a permutation—a permutation is a test of competitiveness between policy options—that model doesn't make sense when the debate is between amorphous philosophical positions because you can't really tie them down to anything – they have no clear standard for competition which forces the neg to answer the aff while negotiating competitionMutual aid groups help get medicine for eachother | 3/5/22 |
