Part One is Framework

As students participating in political debates we must put disability at the center of our discussion– this is central to change the way that disability is represented and conceived. Thus the role of the ballot is to vote for the debater that provides the best liberation method for the oppressed. The role of the judge is to endorse the best disability scholarship.

It is striking, nonetheless, that so few leftists have understood disability in these

, which is to say, for the good of all of us.

Part Two is Inherency

Courts currently allow qualified immunity, even when police violate the rights of disabled people under the Americans with Disabilities Act.  This ensures that cannot get reparations for civil rights violations under the ADA.

And, qualified immunity isn't even a legitimate legal defense currently under the ADA - it is an ableist obfuscation of the law.

Part Three is the Plan

Resolved: The Supreme Court of the United States should limit qualified immunity by adopting the Ninth Circuit's decision on Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act's applicability to arrest situations in Sheehan v. City and County of San Francisco as a legal precedent for all circuits on the next available test case.
Auner 16 Thomas J. "For the Protection of Society's Most Vulnerable, the ADA Should Apply to Arrests." Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review 49.1 (2016): 335.
Excessive force claims stemming from the Fourth Amendment and section 1983 of the Civil Rights
AND
incentivize proper police training and provide uniform federal protections for the mentally ill.

They continue

The Ninth Circuit's approach to the ADA's applicability to arrest situations in Sheehan should be a model for all circuits. Holding the ADA applicable to arrest situations furthers the ADA's objectives and forces law enforcement agencies to implement improved training programs. Training programs implemented by police departments in order to comply with the ADA will likely lead to increased safety among those with mental illnesses. Thus, the Supreme Court has a duty to ensure that a mentally ill person living within in the Fifth Circuit is subject to the same federal protections as a mentally ill person living within the Ninth Circuit. In addition to making the federal law uniform, it is the right thing to do for the mentally ill.

Advantage One: Police Brutality

First, the US fundamentally shifted its policies towards the disabled in the 1970’s. No longer do they receive mental health services, but instead they are treated as criminals and punished.

The United States largely criminalizes mentally ill people, resulting from policies

compared with 7 to 8 percent of the general population.

And, this criminalization of disability results in disproportionate police violence against the disabled.

Police killings of the disabled result from and in turn justify the ableist foundations of the state.

State violence and killings are not chosen acts, they are required

and the capitalism system that police violence serves. 

Second, the nature of the ADA means that no compensation is possible with the existence of qualified immunity.

The threat of lawsuit under the ADA has empirically resulted in inclusion and a decrease in discrimination – more litigation is key.
