Suppose I walked from a to c, via b… a unity of phases.
Moral arguments must flow from absolute reason. Any non-reason based framework is circular.

CLS K

A is the Link: 

The affirmative is attempting to reform the legal system by fiat-ing change, via truth-seeking in the criminal justice system; the affirmative is valuing the legal system.

Reforming the legal system doesn’t solve the current flaws, we must completely dismantle and reject the legal system in order to solve racism.

Martin Luther King Jr., said we as a nation must undergo a …movement can dismantle this new caste system." 

Law is destructive and should be rejected: legal discourse about the current system cements existing systems of oppression because it endlessly repeats the claim that it is the solution. The Affirmative is misguided in its understanding of the legal system

These discourses of legal and …people who use them.

B is the Impact: 

The Affirmative’s legal discourse and faith in the current legal system actively contributes to authoritarianism. The current view of Law is unquestionably violent; and ensures the dominance of those in power, cutting off alternative views of justice.

 The lack of scholarly acknowledgment, …, was, for Cover, pure authoritarianism\
The Criminal Justice System is an attempt to marginalize through authoritarian dominance

Other critics like Professor Dylan Rodriguez ….punishment and liquidation.

C is the Alternative:

The Alternative is voting negative as a form of active and consistent legal criticism. Criticism is a prerequisite towards breaking down the system, only then can we accept responsibility for our actions.
