CLSTournament: CSUN | Round: 4 | Opponent: Pepperdine ER | Judge: Bethany Renfree The law itself is a rhetorical activity-the way they choose to engage its discussion actually shapes the legal systems function and who is allowed to participateWhite 85 When discussing oppression, there can be no compromise-reject the aff at an a priori level because of the way the entire aff theorizes its relationship with the lawOlson 26 Charles 10 (Joel, in an interview with Charles.

Fear of Obama KTournament: Gonzaga | Round: 3 | Opponent: UNLV KK | Judge: Erika Thomas First, their criticism of Obama fuels anti-state libertarian racism.Carrington in 2009 It was often said during the election campaign that Obama’s greatest skill was to allow And, for a country that once took whiteness as the foundation of citizenship, the election of a black president is a victory we should celebrate. Criticisms of Obama’s presidency are mired in white supremacy.Coates in 2012 The idea that blacks should hold no place of consequence in the American political future The alternative is to wage war on white supremacy.We have a moral obligation to reject white supremacy in all of its manifestations. This violent ideology is responsible for killing masses of people physically and mentally. All of humanity depends on our collective commitment to end it before it puts an end to us all.Comissiong in 13 The struggle to end White Supremacy is one that must continue and grow even stronger | 11/9/13 |
FrameworkTournament: UNLV | Round: 5 | Opponent: UCF LT | Judge: Grace Saez OffInterpretation: the affirmative must answer the question: Is the enactment of topical action by the USFG better than the status quo or a competitive option?
2. Should denotes an expectation of enacting a plan 3. The USFG is the government in Washington D.C. B. Violation – The Affirmative does not enact a topical action by the USFGC. Prefer our interpretation1. The affirmatives action is out side the "game space of debate" which makes predictable research impossible and destroys dialogue in debateHanghøj 2008 (Thorkild Hanghøj PhD, author affiliated with Danish Research Centre on Education and Advanced Media Materials PLAYFUL KNOWLEDGE An Explorative Study of Educational Gaming ~~http://static.sdu.dk/mediafiles/Files/Information_til/Studerende_ved_SDU/Din_uddannelse/phd_hum/afhandlinger/2009/ThorkilHanghoej.pdf-http://static.sdu.dk/mediafiles/Files/Information_til/Studerende_ved_SDU/Din_uddannelse/phd_hum/afhandlinger/2009/ThorkilHanghoej.pdf~~~~ ) MT ====2. Debating over controversial issues is essential to learn about political thinking to understand how policies happen – the affirmatives truth statements destroy our ability to make decisions about right/wrong - leading to a subjective view of politics and we never change anything – turns the aff==== ====3.

MarxTournament: UNLV | Round: 2 | Opponent: Oklahoma | Judge: Daniel Stout OffFocus on linguistics rather than material reality isolates Marxist politics in intellectual ivory towers and precludes the possibility of action because we are constantly searching for endless lines of casuality – probably isolates your perm too. Believing the discursive is co extensive of the social is flawed-it dematerializes power by decoupling domination from exploitation and viewing power as a diffuse practice. The call to focus on symbols places consumption as a method of resistance-it is how we consume and understand symbols that is the key. This ignores that every capitalist transgression has been rooted from production, not consumption.Zavarzadeh in 95 (Mas’ud, prolific writer and expert on class ideology, post-ality: Marxism and postmodernism, post-ality the (dis)simulations of cybercapitalism) The naturalizing process of capitalism masks its role in ensuring subjugation on a global scale. Our primary ethico-political responsibility is to challenge the organizing principles which found this systemZizek and Daly in 4(Slavoj and Glyn, Conversations with Zizek pg. 14-16) The alternative is to reject the affirmative for an unconditional fidelity to a Universal struggle for political economic emancipation. Arguments about the ability of the alternative to succeed or the possibility for authoritarianism to occur are irrelevant – it is this prioritization of the new social order’s construction that caused Maoist violence and guarantees failure. We must take a leap of faith.Zizek in 8 (Slavoj; senior researcher @ U of Ljubjlana; In Defense of Lost Causes; p. 202-210) | 11/9/13 |
Nihilism 1NCTournament: USC | Round: 6 | Opponent: NYU | Judge: Izak Dunn OffEvery problem of the 1AC is rooted in the Will that drives every facet of existence—to live is to want, and to want is to suffer—the fundamental premise of nature is the Will to live—acting through the Will can only ever perpetuate our sorrowsYoung, 3 The only efficacious response to the Will is to fundamentally deny it at its core—our alternative is to accept death, letting ourselves starve for the very lack of Will to eat—nothingness is the true meaning of lifeYoung, 3 | 1/7/14 |

Policymaking KTournament: Gonzaga | Round: 2 | Opponent: Whitman | Judge: Kaitlyn Haynal OffFirst, policymaking methods are structured by the assumptions of white, male elites. Their analysis is predicated on an instrumental rationality that glosses over gender, race, class and sexuality as being tied to the prevailing relations of power and systemic oppressionShaw in 2004 Feminist critical policy analysis has been most clearly articulated in the work of Catherine Marshall And, roleplaying a state policymaker colludes with an imperialist agenda that maintains status quo power, privilege, and oppression by distancing debaters from real world participation in the political contexts we debate about.Reid-Brinkley in 2008 Mitchell observes that the stance of the policymaker in debate comes with a "sense The alternative is to reject policymaking.Their method reproduces exceptionalist violence and oppression. Vote negative to join a revolution in debate capable of instigating the critical consciousness necessary to avert immanent global disaster.Spanos in 2004 Dear Joe MIller, Yes, the statement about the American debate circuit you refer | 11/9/13 |
Prisons KTournament: UNLV | Round: 4 | Opponent: ASU MY | Judge: Chris Crowe Prisons KThe Justice system is racist and Islamophobic. Muslims accused of terrorism are presumed guilty and subjected to dehumanizing conditions and torture in the American prisons they would send them to. That turns the aff.Brittain in 2013 And, focusing on indefinite detention ignores the systemic violence experienced by millions in prisons across the democratic worldJohns in 2005 The alternative is to reject the aff’s reliance on Islamophobic law.The classroom space of debate is a unique site for the production of Islamophobia. As an educator, you have a responsibility to deconstruct these stereotypes and reinforce anti-oppressive attitudes.Zaal in 2012 | 11/9/13 |
