JF- COPUOUS CPTournament: HW Tournament | Round: 3 | Opponent: Harker SSe | Judge: Park, Felicity Text: The United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS)'s Legal Subcommittee ought to do (the aff)Normal means for treaties involves solely the signatory countriesBerkeley Law Library 16 The CP competes off of actor spec – they had complete control over how and who implements the aff, especially in this topic since the actor was not specified in the resolution. The actor is a key, debatable element and a change poses an opportunity cost, which is sufficient for competition.COPUOS has jurisdiction and has passed treaties on similar topics in the pastUNOOSA ====COPUOS is losing legitimacy due to an inability to reach consensus and thereby pass policies – the plan restores faith, discourages weak agreements, solves space debris, sustainability, and security issues==== Revitalizing COPUOS solves great power space conflict – it is the single organization that has enough member states, legitimacy, and empirical success to ensure peace – it stopped the first space race, it can do it againMcMillan 7-14-21 | 1/16/22 |

JF- T ImplementTournament: Peninsula | Round: 5 | Opponent: OCSAModernBrain AK | Judge: Larson, Sam 1A~ the aff must implement a planB~ Violation –Resolved means a policyWords and Phrases 64 Words and Phrases Permanent Edition. "Resolved". 1964. C. Fairness-1. Debate is a game: there's a winner and loser, competitive norms, the tournament invite proves. Alternative impacts like activism or education can be pursued in other places. This makes fairness the most important impact2. Not defending the topic is not fairA. Preparation- altering the topic gives the aff a huge edge, they can prepare for half a year on an issue that catches us by surprise. Preparation is better than thinking on your feet- research demonstrates pedagogical humility and research skills are the only portable debate trainingB. Limits- there are a finite amount of government restrictions, but an infinite number of non topical affs. Consider this our "library disad"- not debating the topic allows someone to specialize in one area of the library for 4 years giving them a huge edge over people who switch research focus ever 2 months.C. Causality- debating the resolution forces the affirmative to defend a cause and effect relationship, the state doing x results in y. Non topical affs establish their own barometer "I think x is good for me" that aren't negateable. Only the neg promotes switch side debate.D. Exclusionary rule- you can't vote on the case outweighs T because lack of preparation prevents rigorous testing of the AC claims and inflates the credence of their arguments. If we win fairness we don't have to "outweigh" other impacts | 1/23/22 |
ND- Cap KTournament: damus | Round: 2 | Opponent: IMAC AW | Judge: Barquin, Joseph KL: The Right to Strike legitimates neoliberal domination – it marks strikes as a restriction of one's own personal labor power, which equivocates the right to strike with the right of contract – the plan is subtended by an assumption that workers are economic subjects who turn their labor into human capital, leaving the terms and conditions of neoliberal capitalism intact. | 11/7/21 |

Spec kills generics like the innovation DA and space appropriation good – decks neg groundDrop the debater – their abusive advocacy skewed our 1NC construction, allowing 1AR restart doesn't solveCompeting interps on T – topicality is a yes/no question, you can't be reasonably topical, only competing interps create norms — reasonability is arbitrary and invites judge intervention causing a race to the bottom of questionable argumentation | 2/19/22 |
