1 We KTournament: Meadows | Round: Octas | Opponent: PV Peninsula JL | Judge: Bistagne, Scoggin, Steele The word “we” when used to apply to a single person references the “royal we” and is used to dominate and marginalize oppressed groups. Noël ‘94 Your insistence on the use of ‘we’ is part of a broader project to prevent resistance to sexism – we need gendered language to identify material oppression. Cox ‘16 My argument is NOT that my opponent identifies in any way – but that the obscuring of such identities destroys our ability to deconstruct sexist oppression. This is a reason to negate!
2. Fiat is illusory – when you sign your ballot Congress isn’t spurred to action. However, the things we endorse as people do make a difference since it affects how we actually see and live in the world. In round discourse matters —you are an educator – drop the flow. Vincent ‘13 | 10/30/16 |
1 - Plan Flaw ShouldTournament: Meadows | Round: Octas | Opponent: PV Peninsula JL | Judge: Bistagne, Scoggin, Steele Vote neg—it’s impossible to debate an aff that does nothing and it’s not in your jurisdiction to vote for a policy that can never actually exist—hurts education and real-world applicability. | 10/30/16 |
Black NihilismTournament: Voices | Round: 4 | Opponent: Carmel Valley Independent KL | Judge: Michael OKrent The politics of hope ignores that politics is inherently anti-black, the dream of progress through the political is cruel optimism enables anti-black violence. Warren The only alternative is political apostasy and abandoning the politics of hope. Self-abandonment of the political is the only appropriate response to anti-black structures of violence. Warren The Role of the Ballot is to challenge racism, it’s a prior question. Memmi | 10/9/16 |
Orwell KTournament: Voices | Round: 4 | Opponent: Carmel Valley Independent KL | Judge: Michael OKrent Language has been taken over by obfuscation Orwell Universalizable, hindrance, etc. Orwell Your criticism is devoid of actual meaning, it just uses ambiguous terms to puff up its legitimacy: bindingness, universizable Impact is the justification and defense of nearly every past, present, and future instances of oppression. Orwell ALT – Orwell | 10/9/16 |

SeptOct - Belgium Taxes DATournament: Meadows | Round: 1 | Opponent: Marlborough SD | Judge: Shania Hunt Nuclear power key to revenue generation – taxes. IEA 16 Turns case – increases likelihood of dirty bomb. Rubin and Schreuer 16 Revenues are used to fund renewables – no wind or solar without government subsidies. WNA 16 | 10/28/16 |
SeptOct - Coal DA OppressionTournament: Greenhill | Round: 6 | Opponent: West Des Moines Valley HS | Judge: Chetan Hertzig That’s by far the most likely scenario: A) Empirically proven – Germany’s phase-out caused an increase in coal. Kharecha and Hansen 13 B) Electric energy isn’t interchangeable – fossil fuels are the only option after phase-out. Kharecha and Hansen 13 Renewables don’t have the capacity to replace nuclear – even new tech can’t solve. Brinton and Freed 15 Coal usage undermines movements for environmental justice – controls the internal link to AC impacts. Bell Educators and academic spaces have a unique obligation to resist the oppression caused by coal – its key to including marginalized voices. Bell 2 | 9/18/16 |
SeptOct - Colonialism KTournament: Loyola | Round: 2 | Opponent: Immaculate Heart DD | Judge: Kris Kaya Fossil Fuels are an imperialist strategy—nuclear power plants provide countries with energy sovereignty. IIASAA The alternative is to reject the affirmative’s imperialist and colonialist construction of nuclear power - imperialism makes lives disposable and justifies war as a perpetual means of control for the state. Kelly The role of the ballot is rejecting imperialism Sachs 03 | 9/11/16 |
SeptOct - Consult CP v 2Tournament: Greenhill | Round: 6 | Opponent: West Des Moines Valley HS | Judge: Chetan Hertzig B. Competition: The CP is both functionally and textually competitive, it does not necessarily entail a ban on the production of energy. C. Net Benefits: The Counterplan ensures individualized solutions based on the what groups want, rather than speaking for them. This ensures the best policies are implemented for Natives and solves the aff Thomas EDWARD K. THOMAS, 1995 (PRESIDENT CENTRAL COUNCIL OF THE TLINGIT AND HAIDA INDIAN TRIBES OF ALASKA, May 18, 1995, http://www.archive.org/stream/biataskforcehear00unit/biataskforcehear00unit_djvu.txt) BIA task force : hearing before the Committee on Indian Affairs, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, first session, on to focus on the report and recommendations of the Joint Tribal BIA/DOI Reorganization Task Force, May 18, 1995, Washington, DC United States. Congress. Senate. Committee on Indian Affairs (1993- ) Consultation empirically includes groups as full members of the process – The aff just perpetuates exclusion of indigenous people from the decision-making process.

Congress. Senate. Committee on Indian Affairs (1993- ) Switching to thorium reactors prevents the need for more uranium mining. Clark And, it causes an immediate cessation of mining. Barton And, eliminating nuclear power doesn’t solve – only thorium eliminates current uranium and toxic waste stockpiles. Rhodes This system would pose a solution to nuclear waste disposal without harming minority or poor communities. Hollister ‘16 bracketed: Using subsea burial will solve the problem of disposing with nuclear waste. Hollister 2 And the CP solves for environmental injustice since there are no people or animals under the ocean floor. Underview – Delay, Severance and intrinsicness perms | 9/18/16 |

Harris and Burrows ‘09 Independently, high energy prices create energy poverty for already poor households. Lomborg ‘14 Energy poverty creates hostilities between wealthy and poor people that causes conflict and mass structural violence. Aigbe ‘14 | 10/28/16 |

SeptOct - Japan Coal DATournament: Meadows | Round: Octas | Opponent: PV Peninsula JL | Judge: Bistagne, Scoggin, Steele A prohibition of nuclear power in Japan means more coal power plants and carbon emissions – new nuclear plants are key to stopping climate disruption and propel the growth of clean energy. Shipley ‘16 Coal outweighs huge - 4,000 times more people than nuclear power. Roos ’11 Coal usage undermines movements for environmental justice – controls the internal link to AC impacts.

SeptOct - Warming DATournament: Loyola | Round: 3 | Opponent: Peninsula DJ | Judge: Scott Philips Warming causes extinction – need to act now. McCoy ’14 Nuclear energy solves climate change and decrease air pollution – outweighs any externalities. Jogalekar ’13 *bracketed*: Nuclear power supplies 11 of the world’s electricity – prohibiting would be a huge increase in yearly emissions. WNA ’16 A 4 degree increase turns every impact¬- we won’t be able to adapt. Roberts 13 | 9/11/16 |
SeptOct End Now CPTournament: Voices | Round: 2 | Opponent: La Canada AZ | Judge: Scott Phillips Greenpeace 15 is the solvency advocate And the greenpeace plan also includes a carbon tax – we need to hold fossil fuels accountable. McKibben MCKIBBEN, KLEIN, GREENPEACE CALL FOR GLOBAL CARBON TAX NOW Blog Entry by RP Siegel in Corporate Social Responsibility Thursday, December 17, 2015 - 2:30pm, http://www.justmeans.com/blogs/mckibben-klein-greepeace-call-for-global-carbon-tax-now Even in the worst scenarios, a carbon tax would be a major driver of clean tech and shrink the fossil fuel industry. Kaufman B. Competition - Competes a) via mutual exclusivity – The aff phases it out whereas we end it now which are functionally different advocacies, and b) via net benefits C. Solvency – No econ DA to the CP – renewables are already far cheaper than alternatives – Amin Aff turns are non-unique, the fossil fuel industry is already falling apart and we need the tax to ensure a smooth transition away from coal. Morris Coal communities are hurting now and will continue to fall apart without the tax. Neuhauser Carbon Tax ensures that renewables can compete – answers coal sub. Schiller Underview – Delay, Severance and intrinsicness perms are voting issues, they explode aff ground by granting the 1AR access to an infinite number of policy options and kill stable advocacy by letting the aff kick out of all links to disadvantages. Ground is key to fairness because equal access to offense determines access to the ballot. Stable advocacy is key to fairness because I can’t engage his arguments if he keeps changing them. Fairness is a voter- it’s constitutive of any competitive activity and drop the debater- the only way to compensate from the time skew of devastating short arguments is a loss. | 10/8/16 |
