1- Adv CP- LockdownTournament: Greenhill | Round: 4 | Opponent: McNeil AR | Judge: Andres Rosero The member nations of the WTO shouldCreate harsher laws on Phrama for patenting all medicines and check if they are indigenous. Allow indigenous people to patent their medicines and inventions later or not have them patent. Criminal proceedings that WTO would enforceimpose a mandatory lockdown until there is no more than one new case per day per 100,000 people after which local officials will modulate lockdown levels based on local case numbers. Governments should compensate both individual workers and small businesses that suffer substantial or irreparable economic loss as a result of lockdowns.Only the lockdown solves- it curbs COVID spread until the vaccineOsterholm, 20 — Regents Professor and Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota AND determined by how Americans decide to craft the rest of this current act. | 9/25/21 |

1- K- NeolibTournament: Greenhill | Round: 1 | Opponent: Westwood ST | Judge: Adam Torson KThe aff’s positioning of competition as intrinsic good acts to maintain the stability of capital accumulation.Mata 19- only innovate to protect neoliberalism and because it’s efficent AND the law as the primary, necessarily mutable, instrument of such maintenance. The WTO is neoliberialMartin Hart-Landsberg, 4-1-2006, "Monthly Review," Monthly Review, https://monthlyreview.org/2006/04/01/neoliberalism-myths-and-reality/ (LHS IB) AND trade. In fact, this is an easier task than generally assumed. The Neoliberalism approach the aff takes in by restricting IP’s for competition, the invisible hand, and by restricting IP’s is a myth- further entrenches us in neoliberalism and causes meaningless death and drives less innovation and distribution.At- sach 14- that only neolib solves AND Russia’s Gamaleya Institute and China’s Sinopharm, were successful in developing effective vaccines. Neolib capitalism is the greatest impact—root cause of Covid— it’s the greatest existential threat and the biggest affront to human rights and causes catastrophic healthcare crises, climate change, structural racism, and value to life deprivation. Litany of recent studies prove that transition is possible and would save humanity, but requires urgent divestment from current modes of politicsAhmed 20 (Nafeez Ahmed — Visiting Research Fellow at the Global Sustainability Institute at Anglia Ruskin University's Faculty of Science and Technology + M.A. in contemporary war and peace studies + DPhil (April 2009) in international relations from the School of Global Studies @ Sussex University, "Capitalism is Destroying ‘Safe Operating Space’ for Humanity, Warn Scientists", https://www.resilience.org/stories/2020-06-24/capitalism-is-destroying-safe-operating-space-for-humanity-warn-scientists/, 24 June 2020, EmmieeM) AND quite literally, destroying the foundations for human survival over the coming decades. Neolib is the root cause of Covid and all pandemics- multiple warrants- the aff is a hopeless attempt and an example of disaster neolib to solve through restricting IP’s- when in reality they can’t since they’re dependent on free markets sacrifices which proliferates the virusMiloš ŠUmonja, 21- June"Neoliberalism is not dead – On political implications of Covid-19," PubMed Central (PMC), https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7770495/ (LHS IB) AND disproportionately women and minority workers facing permanent job loss (Data Speaks 2020). The alt is to decentralize global chains, the free markets and neoliberalism- we support Democratisation of capitalism through the Keynesian stateMiloš ŠUmonja, 21- June"Neoliberalism is not dead – On political implications of Covid-19," PubMed Central (PMC), https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7770495/ (LHS IB)) AND of who is paying for the crisis is already being answered in practice. FWInterp – the aff has to win the social institution through which the plan is enacted is better than the status quo or competiting option proposed by the negative – solves all their offenseInstitutions are a critical part of implementation, solvency, and ideology – the aff should be forced to think about that before writing a planIt’s predictable – institutions are obvious if we win a link we win their institutional bias is real, we can’t shift the goalposts on which institution we think is good – also, it’s the cap K – it’s been around for decadesCritical debate good – it’s most educational by opening our minds to different viewpoints – taking institutions for granted perpetuates all the harms of the status quoFiat is illusory – analyzing competing political strategies is the core of any social change.Giroux 12 6/19/12 ~Henry, Global TV Network Chair Professorship at McMaster University in the English and Cultural Studies Department, "Beyond the Politics of the Big Lie: The Education Deficit and the New Authoritarianism" June 6, 2012 http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9865-beyond-the-politics-of-the-big-lie-the-education-deficit-and-the-new-authoritarianism~~ AND making education central to organized politics and the quest for a radical democracy. | 9/25/21 |
1- T- NebelTournament: Greenhill | Round: 4 | Opponent: McNeil AR | Judge: Andres Rosero OFFInterpretation: medicines is a generic bare plural. The aff may not defend that member nations of the World Trade Organization reduce intellectual property protections for a subset of medicines.Nebel 19 Jake Nebel ~Jake Nebel is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Southern California and executive director of Victory Briefs.~ , 8-12-2019, "Genericity on the Standardized Tests Resolution," Briefly, https://www.vbriefly.com/2019/08/12/genericity-on-the-standardized-tests-resolution/ SM AND -value meaning and standard expectations about what LD resolutions tend to mean. It applies to medicines:Upward entailment test – spec fails the upward entailment test because saying that nations ought to reduce IPP for one medicine does not entail that those nations ought to reduce IPP for all medicinesAdverb test – adding "usually" to the res doesn’t substantially change its meaning because a reduction is universal and permanentViolation: the aff only defends biological elements used outside of their country of originVote neg:Semantics outweigh:T is a constitutive rule of the activity and a basic aff burden – they agreed to debate the topic when they came hereIt’s the only stasis point we know before the round so it controls the internal link to engagement – there’s no way to use ground if debaters aren’t prepared to defend itLimits – there are countless affs accounting for thousands of medicines – unlimited topics incentivize obscure affs that negs won’t have prep on – potential abuse doesn’t justify foregoing the topic and 1AR theory checks PICsThere are over 20,000 affsFDA 11/18 ~(U.S. Food and Drug Administration, federal agency of the Department of Health and Human Service) "Fact Sheet: FDA at a Glance," 11/18/2020~ JL AND drug products. Ground – spec guts core generics like innovation that rely on reducing IP for all medicines because individual medicines don’t affect the pharmaceutical industry broadly – also means there is no universal DA to spec affsTVA solves – read as an advantage to whole rezParadigm issues:Drop the debater:Their abusive advocacy skewed the debate from the start – 1NC construction was premised onDeters abuse – debaters won’t read args they can’t win on – their interp means reading extra T affs has zero riskComes before 1AR theory – NC abuse is responsive to them not being topicalCompeting interps – reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention and a race to the bottom of questionable argumentationFairness is a voter ¬– necessary to determine the better debaterEducation is a voter – why schools fund debate | 9/25/21 |

2- K- NeolibTournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 7 | Opponent: Greenhill NT | Judge: Vishan Chaudhary Framing strikes as a "right" to be granted instead of a "freedom" cements state power over the working class and destroys class solidarity.Dimick 19 AND procedure, which is characterized by legal-bureaucratic delay and employer intimidation. Off their 1AC Robinision 16 card- Inevitable economic crises from capitalism are the root cause of populism – history proves the aff misdiagnoses the problemKaletsky 17 AND advocates of market fundamentalism did not just forget redistribution; they forbade it. The aff’s strike-focused politics privatizes and atomizes worker struggle – it channels it towards specific employers rather than class domination as a whole while ensuring the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie by privileging alternative modes of settlement outside and in spite of the specifics of the law itself.Feldman, 94 AND of legal settings, transecting the doctrinal categorizations that abound in labor law. Class consciousness is the single and easiest possible solution to inequality and insatiable consumption under capitalismEdles 15 AND of history —capable of providing for the needs of all of its inhabitants Our critique independently outweighs the case - neoliberalism causes extinction and massive social inequalities – the affs single issue legalistic solution is the exact kind of politics neolib wants us to engage in so the root cause goes unquestioned – and treat this as a no long-term solvency argument – the inequalities of labor relations are fundamental to capitalism. F
AND enhancing natural and social systems will soon reach a point of no return. New radical party politics are key—we need a new political ecology of class.Class consciousness on the rise globally – workers are hype to revolutionize and fightAckerman 10-25-21 AND . "Postmaterialism," he concluded, "eventually became its own gravedigger." The alternative is to affirm the model of the Communist Party – only party organizing. That solves 100 of labor problems, the environment, and imperialism.Elyson 18 AND debates will be crucial to ensuring that this rapidly growing movement can succeed. FramingThe K OW and turns the aff –(1) Form v Content – the K indicts the rhetoric or the pedagogical way that the aff is exported to fit in the debate space and is also the best model for clash because you clash with our theory of power instead of plan focus which we’ve indicted. It’s not unfair to expect you to defend your epistemological consequences anything else is academically irresponsible.(2) Epistemology – neoliberalism imposes that our knowledge is formed through an endless cycle of production which means the 1AC "skills" are irrelevant and the exportation of their pedagogy is flawed(3) Neoliberalism controls the value to life through affectivity which presupposes evaluation of body counts. Extinction has already happened and the criticism controls that value.(5) Fiat is illusory none of their policymaking offense is solved but our representations can be rectified with a rejection which outweighs on ballot proximity(6) No permutations – a) justifies infinite aff conditionality which kills negative route to the ballot b) it’s a methods debate to solve harms – combining them is nonsense because it abandons maxims about the initial movement and then it gets fragmented c) You should evaluate the aff as a research project because that’s how the semiotic economy coopts their offense d) it’s severance out of the 1ac’s representations which makes the aff a moving targetCaseROB- Vote for the best debater | 11/27/21 |
2- T- ATournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 7 | Opponent: Greenhill NT | Judge: Vishan Chaudhary Interpretation: the affirmative may not spec a governmentA: "A" is an indefinite article that modifies "just government" – The affirmative must defend in general that All just government ought to recognize an unconditional right of workers to strike. They cannot defend individual just governments.CCC ("Articles, Determiners, and Quantifiers", http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/determiners/determiners.htm~~#articles, Capital Community College Foundation, a nonprofit 501 c-3 organization that supports scholarships, faculty development, and curriculum innovation) LHSLA JC/SJ AND ) refers to all members of that class This applies to the topic – 1~ Upward entailment test – "China ought to have the unconditional right to strike does not entail that those governments ought to have the unconditional right to strike," doesn’t imply that "in a just government workers ought to have the right to strike uncondo" because voting might not be compulsory in an authoritarian regime 2~ Adverb test – "In a democracy workers uncondo right 2 strike" doesn’t substantially change the meaning of the topicVote neg for limits and ground—-Their interp justifies endless country of the week affs that delink core generics—-Kills fairness and education.Semantics first—-Resolution is the only stasis point for predictable preround prep, which is key to equitable division of ground and in-depth clash. There’s no brightline for topicality besides the topic, so anything else is arbitrary.Fairness is a voter—-debate is a game the judge needs to evaluateEducation is a voter—-it’s the only portable impactT before theory—-if I was abusive it was because the plan wasNo RVIS—-encourage theory baiting and it’s illogical to win for proving they’re fair.Competing Interps—better for norm setting, you can’t reasonably meet a definition, and prevents judge intervention | 11/27/21 |
2- T- EmbodimentTournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 2 | Opponent: Valor Christian LS | Judge: Joseph Barquin T – Embodiment1ACs must use the three-tier process for the rez – academics are groundless without personal experience or organic intellectuals.Reid-Brinkley ‘8 (PhD from UGA, professor of communications at the University of Pittsburgh (Shanara, "THE HARSH REALITIES OF "ACTING BLACK": HOW AFRICAN-AMERICAN POLICY DEBATERS NEGOTIATE REPRESENTATION THROUGH RACIAL PERFORMANCE AND STYLE") AND in the community of those most greatly affected by the status of oppression. Violation – The affirmative does not establish personal experience or organic intellectuals in relation to the reading of the 1AC.Standards – our interpretation is comparatively better – multiple warrants –Presumption – the Aff does not do anything and voting Aff does not change the status quo.Disembodiment – the affirmative demarcates the body from politics. Embodiment and its disavowal lie at the heart of conceptions of freedom and political power. The disavowal of embodiment is what grants whiteness the power to perpetrate racial violence.Limits – there’s infinitely many policies but only one youMinorities – need to be able to express themselves and white people need to be exposed to other perspective | 11/20/21 |
2- T- FWTournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 2 | Opponent: Valor Christian LS | Judge: Joseph Barquin 1NC – Fairness and ClashOur interpretation is the aff must be topical. The aff violates the following terms:Resolved requires legislative resolutionArmy Officer School 4 (5-12, "~# 12, Punctuation—The Colon and Semicolon", http://usawocc.army.mil/IMI/wg12.htm) AND resolved:" Resolved: (colon) That this council petition the mayor. Topicality is key to limits and ground—-aligning research incentives with the resolution is necessary for negative contestability while avoiding polemical generics and endless reclarification.Two impacts:1. Fairness—-debate is a competitive game and a voluntary activity—-preserving fairness as an independent impact is necessary to operationalize any of its benefits.Dascal and Knoll ’11 ~Marcelo and Amnon; May 18th; former Professor of Philosophy at Tel Aviv University, B.A. in Philosophy from the University of Sao Paulo; former Professor of Philosophy at Tel Aviv University; Argumentation: Cognition and Community, "'Cognitive systemic dichotomization' in public argumentation and controversies," p. 20-25; GR~ AND that they are sufficient for conducting the discussion up to a satisfactory closure. 2. Iteration—-the process of negation through research and in-round contestation is valuable for motivating advocacy and argumentative reflection.Default to competing interpretations—-winning the 1AC was good doesn’t prove their counterinterpretation is. Neg framework ballots pick a winner but no ballot solves structural impacts. Any "net benefit" to their interp that isn’t about the types of debates it encourages is not offense—-you can vote neg and agree with claims like the "the 1AC was good" or "some topical debates could be bad". | 11/20/21 |
2- T- JustTournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 7 | Opponent: Greenhill NT | Judge: Vishan Chaudhary Interpretation: the affirmative must defend that only just governments ought to recognize an unconditional 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. The German government is polluted with racism – that doesn’t’ secure libertiesDeutsche Welle (Www.Dw, 09.06.2020, "Racism on the rise in Germany," DW, https://www.dw.com/en/racism-on-the-rise-in-germany/a-53735536 JB AND had serious or very serious reservations about renting an apartment to an immigrant. 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 grounded4~ TVA – Defend whole res – you can defend a full democracy or just don’t defend a state that has been committing racial atrocities and purposefully not giving legal support to victimsC/a DTD, CI, and Fairness | 11/27/21 |
