-If I win that the constitution is a good method of evaluation then you should affirm. The constitution affirms tautologically because the constitution mandates that free speech not be restricted in all cases where the constitution would protect it. Moreover, the constitution is a living document with interpretations constantly in flux, which means it can be revised. In turn this means that any disads about the speech we might allow are non-intrinsic because future members of the Supreme Court can always rule that the first amendment doesn’t protect those. |

-The role of the judge is to play the part of a federal court judge. The ballot is a referendum on constitutionality. The Affirmative must prove that the restrictions of any constitutionally protected speech are unconstitutional and should end. The Negative must engage in a refutation of the plan by demonstrating that the restriction overturned is constitutional and therefore merits maintaining it. |

-===Our framework provides the balance between two poles of impractical legal education – the non-prescriptive nature of critique debates and the directly prescriptive model of debate that occurs in the vacuum of legal reality. The debate should center on actions that the government can and cannot take in connection with the legal justification for said action. Moving away from this framework tips the scale toward education without utility. |

-This type of education is a fundamental prerequisite to addressing legislative and executive courses of action. Debate can be a training ground that provides us with the best understanding of what decisions are made, how they are made, and the interconnectedness of legal restraint. Only the AFF framework provides us with the building blocks to make effective policy advocacy. ===Wishing policies into existence, absent a discussion of existing legal regimes, ignores vital components of policymaking. |

-Our legal consciousness is an accumulation of knowledge and interaction with legal play. ===The AFF’s framework for debate creates a nuanced discussion of jurisprudence. That skill-set is vital to creating an informed citizenry who can deploy a rights conscious approach in everyday life. |
