JANFEB -- T -- FrameworkTournament: Newark Invitational | Round: 2 | Opponent: Village RB | Judge: Anshuma Mishra 1NC – TThe aff should be topical."Resolved:" refers to a legislative debate.Louisiana State Legislature 16, "Glossary of Legislative Terms," http://www.legis.state.la.us/glossary2.htm Failing to defend topical action decimates the quality of debate for two reasons—1. Competitive equity—any alternative to our model of the topic as a baseline for discussion wrecks it—it's impossible to negate alternative frameworks with the ground allocated to us by the parameters of the resolution—all 1AR defense to this claim will rely on concessionary ground which isn't a stable basis for a year of debate.2. Truth testing—they moot the role of the negative which is to force the aff to defend their core assumptions—allowing affs to reframe the debate around their terms makes engagement impossible—outweighs and turns the aff because clash is the only way to translate anything debate gives us outside of the activity.Limits - Policy-oriented research paradigms are best for ensuring the reduction of the potential for inequality in space.Weeks, 12 – PhD, Webster University Adjunct Professor of International Relations Switch side debate is preferable and solves — it forces debaters to consider a controversial issue from multiple perspectives which prevents ideological dogmatism. Even if they prove the topic is bad, our argument is that the process of preparing and defending proposals is an educational benefit of engaging it. Read the k on the neg as a reason why appropriation of space is bad.The TVA solves – Read the aff as an impact of the implementation of a plan that bans private appropriation of outer space – OST, Moon Treaty, Bogota convention, etc. all solves enough of their offense for a risk of ours to outweigh-any reasons it doesn't solve is our point beause there should be some role for the negative.Drop the debater for deterrence and skewing negative prepFairness is a voter – debate is a game and is the terminal impact to debateI couldn't contest the aff to begin with – they can't apply the aff against T since that assumes their aff was legitimate to begin with. They don't get access to claims that weren't contestable by me.Competing interps on T – You have to win that your interp is net better, which cultivates better grounds for clash. Reasonability dissolves the brightline for T because it says we can be "almost" topical. | 1/8/22 |

"Just" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/just Accessed 10/24 gord0~ Violation – they don't defend a policy by law.There are 2 impacts –First is fairness — absent adherence to the agent and mechanism of the resolution, debate becomes unmanageable — all 2AC defense will depend on concessionary ground which isn't a stable basis for a year of debates. Fairness is an intrinsic good and independent impact — they would be mad if we won and didn't give a 2NR and debate as a competitive activity requires it to function. – every time they say that fairness isn't an impact, remember that they rely on you to judge this round fairly.Second is clash — absent a resolutional stasis point, teams have a competitive incentive to defend truisms and no link every 1NC argument. Clash is an intrinsic good — it's key to research and truth-testing — it results in nuanced discussions about the best reasons protection of water resources would be good or bad and avoids one-sided monologues. Ideological reflexivity and deep argumentation are unique to adversarial nature of debate.Turns the aff /education– the only reason it is necessary to read their advocacy in debate is so that there is RIGOROUS DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION about their advocacy – without a PREPARED OPPONENT – the aff turns that discussion into a monologue which destroys aff solvency | 11/20/21 |

Agency staff members investigate and remedy unfair labor practices by unions and employers. No date. "The Right to Strike". The Right to Strike | National Labor Relations Board (nlrb.gov) Accessed 11/20 gord0 There are two impacts —First is competitive equity — debate is a game — wins, losses, seedings, speaker points, speech times all prove — a limitless topic where they can run away from the resolution and run anything as their aff destroys debate1 — debate is only valuable when both teams are prepared to debate the resolution which is the only predictable stasis point for both sides to clash over2 — fairness is an intrinsic good — games like debate require fairness to function and if every debate came down to whoever the judge liked better, there would be no point to participating in the activitySecond is clash — their model of debate incentivizes teams taking the moral high ground and leaving nothing for the negative to say — they can just run a true statement as their aff and asking you to vote for them. Clash is an intrinsic good — makes us more reflexive and fosters deep argumentation — it's the only impact unique to debate. Any argument you think they're winning links to our offense — it's just as likely they're winning it because we weren't effectively prepared to defeat it.Putting our positions up for debate and studying their flaws best breaks down our neural bias towards intellectual arrogance, and fosters a culture of better scholarship — our brains are terrible at knowing when we're wrong and updating our beliefs.
