Tournament: CEDA Nats | Round: 1 | Opponent: Michigan BC | Judge: Heather Walters Both discourses focus on constructing the psyche of detainees and detract from questioning how indefinite detention was made possible by coercive measures of sovereign control. Howell 07 (Alison, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University, Newark, York University, PhD where she is also an affiliate member of the Department of Women's and Gender Studies. She recently held a Fulbright Chair at Brown University and SUNY, and is an editorial board member of the journal Critical Studies on Security, International Political Sociology (2007) 1, 29–47, Victims or Madmen?

Tracing the pathologization of detainees exposes the paradox of securitized violence that allows authoritarian practices of indefinite detention, racialized management, and torture of the “mentally unstable” to exist Howell 07 (Alison, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University, Newark, York University, PhD where she is also an affiliate member of the Department of Women's and Gender Studies.

? The US positions itself as savior of detainees through mental institutions which replicates a larger approach to international relations that pathologizes entire populations as irrational and “unstable” and deserving of intervention Howell 07 (Alison, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University, Newark, York University, PhD where she is also an affiliate member of the Department of Women's and Gender Studies.

Disability is not an identity but rather a condition in which current liberal governance is structured. The lack of disability studies in politics and debate has forced debaters to become complacent in the genocide of those deemed outside of the norm. Truchan-Tataryn 7 (Maria, PhD in English at University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, (In)visible Images: Seeing Disability in Canadian Literature, 1823-1974; December, P 23-38shree) The final category, Transgressive Reappropriation, encompasses a radical approach to the history of AND body, rather than as a threat to a constructed fiction of sameness.
The United States Congress should substantially increase statutory restrictions on the war powers authority of the President of the United States by requiring that persons detained indefinitely receive either civilian trials or be released.
Discussing the ways the state has pathologized detainees functions as a counter-narrative that deconstructives the dominant narratives of the state that seek to erase difference. Totalizing politics reifies exclusion. Truchan-Tataryn 7 (Maria, PhD in English at University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, (In)visible Images: Seeing Disability in Canadian Literature, 1823-1974; December, P 11-17shree) Despite Davis’s critique, postmodernism legitimates Disability Studies’ current academic and political urgency. Disability AND ” if we are to progress in understanding of difference (Why 14).
? The 1AC is an affirmation that the current politics of disability and the law are deconstructable because they are socially constructed. While no single action will end all oppression we must make demands that orient the force of law towards the impossibility of justice. Caputo 07 (John D., PhD Bryn Mawr College, Thomas J. Watson Professor of AND Good News Of Post-Modernism for the Church, pg 63)ERM I am identifying deconstruction as a kind of passion or prayer for the impossible, AND in the next set of circumstances, which may be different. 2. ? Vote aff to take a leap of faith through the undecidability of the response to indefinite detention Caputo 07 (John D., PhD Bryn Mawr College, Thomas J. Watson Professor of AND Good News Of Post-Modernism for the Church, pg 63)ERM The ghost of the undecidable. A just decision becomes a real decision only when AND mother, which means a mother who expects and prays for an event. ? Discussing proximity to disability in academia is key to emancipatory pedagogies – the alternative is a parasitic view from nowhere Campbell 09 (Fiona Kumari, Griffith University, Australia, “Countours of Ableism: The Production of Disability and Abledness” http://www.freelists.org/archives/sig-dsu/08-2013/pdfyWdtytodrO.pdf pg 122-124 retrieved 2/13/14) Whilst many disabled people enfold disability into our shifting selves (to say nothing about AND order to work out unresolved issues.

Academic discussion is a first step to decentering positions of privilege – the alternative is silence that entrenches the system Campbell 09 (Fiona Kumari, Griffith University, Australia, “Countours of Ableism: The Production of Disability and Abledness” http://www.freelists.org/archives/sig-dsu/08-2013/pdfyWdtytodrO.pdf pg 126-127 retrieved 2/13/14) The forces of marginalisation has meant that academics, as public intellectuals are often called AND this chapter, I extend this discussion by focusing on power and exclusion.
The 1AC is a prior question to policymaking – we must investigate the structures of disability that foreclose democratic decisionmaking Bérubé 3 (Michael, Paterno Family Professor in Literature at Pennsylvania State University, “Citizenship and Disability”, Spring, http://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/?article=506shree) Could anything make this clearer than the politics of disability? Imagine a building in AND kneeling buses, and buildings employing what is now known as universal design.
The aff is key to legal topic education about indefinite detention – the effects of legal restrictions cannot be divorced from the narratives that make detention possible Ahmad ‘9 (Muneer I. Ahmad Clinical Professor of Law, Yale Law School RESISTING GUANTÁNAMO: RIGHTS AT THE BRINK OF DEHUMANIZATION 2009 by Northwestern University School of Law Vol. 103, No. 4.) It is, however, not only the historical specificity of rights that compels such AND is not merely a convenient device, but an indispensable and constitutive methodology.
Strict process focus reduces Guantanamo to a mere symbol of the War on terror while erasing the context of the lives, stories, and violence that gives indefinite detention meaning Ahmad ‘9 Muneer I. Ahmad Clinical Professor of Law, Yale Law School RESISTING GUANTÁNAMO: RIGHTS AT THE BRINK OF DEHUMANIZATION 2009 by Northwestern University School of Law Vol. 103, No. 4.
