	54	+Banning hate speech is key to prove that the US is taking steps to become more and more compliant with I-Law. Doing the Aff will make the world stage know that the US is taking a step backward and doesn’t really care about following I-law, thus making other countries withdraw from their own commitments.

	95	+Don’t buy any unwarranted arguments- my opponent is just trying to avoid having to debate this important impact without going to the trouble of bringing up evidence.
	96	+
	97	+Also, don’t buy an argument that states this is far-fetched; it is clearly not. Things such as accidental nuclear war could happen at any time and trigger global extinction, US compliance with I-law helps gives it the credibility to tell other countries to follow certain international laws that help prevent these extinction scenarios.
	98	+If I can prove that I am decreasing the probability of extinction even a tiny bit, I automatically win the debate because extinction is the biggest impact in the round, especially under util framework. Magnitude outweighs probability because we need to consider large-scale impacts first- if we don’t we may be truly unprepared when such an impact actually happens.
