nuclear power is both a necessary and a nearly sufficient condition for nonproliferation.

Underview

Neg must defend a competitive post-fiat advocacy. Anything else means they moot the 1AC by up-layering, giving them a 13-7 time advantage that makes it impossible to affirm. My interp also preserves clash by forcing them to answer the aff, which ensures topic education. The resolution is a question of comparative worlds.

NELSON 08
Nelson, Adam F. 2008. Towards A Comprehensive Theory of Lincoln-Douglas Debate.
And the truth-statement model of the resolution imposes an absolute burden of proof
AND
much smaller range of options: advocacy of the resolution as a whole.

OED defines ought as “Used to indicated a desirable of expected state” Textuality is a jurisdictional issue that forms the basis of preround prep and reframes what it means to negate a statement

Aff gets RVIs. Prefer because

A) Time skew – the 2AR doesn’t have enough time to cover both theory and substance since the 2NR is twice as long so I have half the offense at the end of the debate – I should be able to collapse to the highest layer.

B) The 1AR is too short to read theory especially if I have to cover his shell – I need an RVI for theory to be reciprocal, which is key to equal access to the ballot.

The framework and paradigm for the round must conform to the aff. A change after the 1AC results in the neg dodging 6 minutes of offense. This creates a 13-7 difference in argument time and allows the neg to avoid clash with 1AC arguments, thereby harming fairness and education.

Abstract questioning is useless - debate should seek to design concrete alternatives.

QI- Ableism 1AC 

Framing

Structural violence necessitates the exclusion of certain groups—this renders ethical theories meaningless

AND
building lasting peace.

That’s a pre-requisite to other ethical theories; even if they win that their ethical theory is the most coherent or sound, resisting structural oppression is a prior concern since it prevents individuals from participating in that moral space to begin with.

Ableism operates as foundational tactic of oppression that must be resisted

Oppression is the systematic victimization of one group by another. It is a form

represents at this moment in time the final frontier of justifiable human inferiority.

Thus, the Role of the ballot is to endorse the strategy for resisting ableist oppression 

Social constructions of disability are the root cause of other forms of oppression since the drive for normalization and the desire for aesthetic coherence forms the basis of our politics—thus, the Role of the judge is to facilitate disability scholarship.

Offense

Plan Text: The United States federal government should overturn San Francisco v Sheehan and rule that police officers found to have violated the Americans with Disabilities act (or ADA) should be denied qualified immunity.
