	66	+**US Legal** ~~US Legal, "State Supreme Courts," https://system.uslegal.com/state-supreme-courts/~~ JW
	67	+The state supreme court is the highest state court in the U.S. state court system. The state supreme courts are known by various names in the states. State supreme courts primary responsibility consists of correcting the errors of the inferior state courts. It exclusively hears appeals on legal issues from inferior state courts. Since it does not make any finding of facts, it holds no trials. In rare instances where the state supreme court finds that a trial court made any egregious error in its finding of facts, the state supreme court shall remand such case before it to the trial court for a fresh trial. State supreme courts have a panel of judges appointed as per rules outlined by each state constitution. State supreme court's interpretation of any state law is generally final and binding to both state and federal courts. Federal courts may overrule a state supreme court decision only when there is a federal question which springs up a federal jurisdiction. An appeal from any state supreme court decision concerning matters of federal jurisdiction shall directly lie to the supreme court of the U.S. State supreme courts exercise both mandatory and discretionary review of appeals from trial courts.
	68	+Vote on plan flaw:
	69	+
	70	+
	71	+====1. Jurisdiction: you have to vote on an aff that defends the right actor that makes sense. It's like saying "turtles should limit qualified immunity," meaning you're not actually affirming====
	72	+
	73	+
	74	+====2. Not specifying means you can shift between various Supreme Courts and where you implement the plan ====
	75	+
	76	+
	77	+====3. Vagueness: kills legal edu benefits and solvency ====
	78	+
	79	+
	80	+===AT Shapiro Spike ===
	81	+1. Not all your evidence is specific to excessive force either
	82	+2. the neg should be able to read generic evidence even if it's not specific to excessive force
	83	+a) Strat skew: I had no way of predicting the aff until pairings and I can't recut a whole new case neg in 1 hour
	84	+b) Ground: losing generics means that I'm denied core neg ground like DA's and CP's and I need those generics to have a chance in the round especially if the aff is spec. Also the ground is awful on excessive force: people generally think that excessive force is bad and I'm not going to impact turn it
	85	+Theory outweighs substance: it's a question of procedure which means an argument must be fair before you evaluate it otherwise the debate isn't a proper measure of who's the better debater
	86	+
	87	+
	88	+===Solvency ===
	89	+
	90	+
	91	+====1. Terminal defense on solvency- police don't pay legal fees, are unaware of complains and potential liability doesn't alter actions. ====

	93	+The Court specifically fears that financial liability, in the form of paying compensatory damages
	94	+AND
	95	+does not actually alter most officers' on-the-job actions.101
	96	+
	97	+
	98	+====2. Turn- The Supreme Court will limit constitutional rights to compensate for removing Qualified Immunity, empirics prove. ====
	99	+Fallon 11** **~~Richard H. Fallon, Jr., (The Ralph S. Tyler, Jr. Professor of Law, Harvard Law School). "Asking the Right Questions About Officer Immunity." 80 Fordham L. Rev. 479 (2011). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/flr/vol80/iss2/3~~
	100	+As another possible response to a world without official immunity, the Supreme Court might
	101	+AND
	102	+reasonable person could think a search reasonable, it is not unreasonable.56
	103	+
	104	+
	105	+====3. **Litigation is high now- limiting qualified immunity explodes the amount of cases, chilling police officers and increasing crime. ====**

	107	+This effect dovetails with a growing tendency toward "depolicing" that has become prevalent
	108	+AND
	109	+delicate balance society seeks between forcefully fighting crime and respectfully treating all citizens.

	112	+====5. Terminal defense—liability doesn't affect police conduct- empirically proven====
