Tournament: All | Round: 9 | Opponent: x | Judge: x There are obviously many more things the neg could do that may be abusive, but this often depends on context. I haven’t hit the whole gamut of abusive neg arguments. I will add interps as I break them. The interps below are norms I am 100 percent committed to when I affirm and strongly encourage you to commit to as well because I think they lead to better debates regardless of context. I frequently discuss theory and update my files, so my views may change as the year progresses and I reserve the right to add or subtract to this list.
Interps we think neg’s should comply with:
Spec status of CP in NC itself 2. Prioritize K vs T in NC itself 3. NIBs Bad 4. Conditional PICs bad 5. PICs Bad (in spec context usually) 6. Disclosure 7. Hidden Spikes bad
^Exact text of interp depends on the round. Usually the interp is synthetic to the actual debate.

Ideal theory strips away particularities making ethics inaccessible and epistemically skewed Mills 05, Charles, 2005, Ideal Theory” as Ideology, The crucial common claim—whether couched in terms of ideology and fetishism, or androcentrism, or white normativity—is that all theorizing, both moral and nonmoral, takes place in an intellectual realm dominated by concepts, assumptions, norms, values, and framing perspectives that reflect the experience and group interests of the privileged group (whether the bourgeoisie, or men, or whites). So a simple empiricism will not work as a cognitive strategy; one has to be self-conscious about the concepts that “spontaneously” occur to one, since many of these concepts will not arise naturally but as the result of social structures and hegemonic ideational patterns. In particular, it will often be the case that dominant concepts will obscure certain crucial realities, blocking them from sight, or naturalizing them, while on the other hand, concepts necessary for accurately mapping these realities will be absent. Whether in terms of concepts of the self, or of humans in general, or in the cartography of the social, it will be necessary to scrutinize the dominant conceptual tools and the way the boundaries are drawn. This is, of course, the burden of standpoint theory—that certain realities tend to be more visible from the perspective of the subordinated than the privileged (Harding 2003). The thesis can be put in a strong and implausible form, but weaker versions do have considerable plausibility, as illustrated by the simple fact that for the most part the crucial conceptual innovation necessary to map nonideal realities has not come from the dominant group. In its ignoring of oppression, ideal theory also ignores the consequences of oppression. If societies are not oppressive, or if in modeling them we can abstract away from oppression and assume moral cognizers of roughly equal skill, then the paradigmatic moral agent can be featureless. No theory is required about the particular group-based obstacles that may block the vision of a particular group. By contrast, nonideal theory recognizes that people will typically be cognitively affected by their social location, so that on both the macro and the more local level, the descriptive concepts arrived at may be misleading.

Part 3 is the Plan Resolved: The United States Supreme Court shall reverse the Harlow V. Fitzgerald ruling, establishing an objective reasonableness standard for qualified immunity for police officers that only applies when there has been a change in the law, not merely a new application of an established doctrine. All decisions in conflict with this ruling shall be declared null and void. Part 4 is Solvency The plan stops the absolute defense of qualified immunity, rupturing state violence and militarism. It also still allows police a limited defense stopping any chilling effect.
