A is the Status-Quo

PRIVILEGE PROTECTS THE ELITE — ANTI-DEMOCRATIC

Goldfarb ’09 (Ronald Goldfarb, Attorney, 2009, In Confidence: When to Protect Secrecy and When to Require Disclosure, p. 232)

Privileged communications have historically been a privilege of privileged groups - lawyers, doctors,
AND
that encourage and protect confidentiality, but to rethink the issue of privilege. 

PRIVILEGE IS A CONCESSION TO POWER AND ELITISM

Goldfarb 2 in ’09, (Ronald Goldfarb, Attorney, 2009, In Confidence: When to Protect Secrecy and When to Require Disclosure, p. 225)
Some critics have claimed that the very notion of privilege is a concession to power
AND
"Powerful institutions" get the privilege and their clients are the beneficiaries.

And,

ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE POSITION OF THE POWERFUL

Harvard Law Review, 1985, "Privileged Communication: I. Introduction: The Development of Evidentiary Privileges in American Law," 98 Harv. L. Rev. 1450, p. 1493-4

Power Theory as Explanation. — The power theory condemns both the traditional justification and
AND
Proposed Rules were intended to make privilege law conform to the traditional justification.

And,

REJECTING OF THE PRIVACY RATIONALE DEMONSTRATES THAT PRIVILEGE IS REALLY ABOUT PROTECTING THE POWERFUL

Harvard Law Review 2, 1985, "Privileged Communication: I. Introduction: The Development of Evidentiary Privileges in American Law," 98 Harv. L. Rev. 1450, p. 1495

One can perhaps find more subtle support for the power theory by analyzing the evolution
AND
, than the "public policy" distinctions made under the traditional justification.

B is the effects

Privilege allows the elite to develop a human hierarchy in which we dictate who is entitled to certain privilege and who is different therefore lesser.

McPhail, Edward., Associate Professor of Economics at Dickinson College, No Date, Chapter Two: Perceiving Race and Hierarchy, http://edwardmcphail.com/eugenics/vanity.2.7.04/2_race_hierarchy.pdf, Date Accessed: 8/22/13

Following Mill, we suppose that one person perceives another directly through the¶ immediate
AND
in¶ that it recognizes that unregulated sympathy and choices can endanger hierarchy.

And,

This human hierarchy cause a class division of devaluation in which some are deemed higher and other are deemed lesser and victimized.

Staub 99, (Ervin., Department of Psychology Univeristy of Massachusetts at Amherst, 1999, The Origins and Prevention of Mass Genocide, Mass Killing, and Other Collective Violence, PEACE AND CONFZICT: JOURNAL OF PEACE PSYCHOLOGY, 5(4), P. 309)

Certain cultural or societal characteristics, which include political arrangements, ¶ make ethnopolitical violence
AND
that have become stable characteristics of each group, its identity and worldview.

And,

This victimization leads to precaution and devaluation and entitlement is the root of all genocide and mass murder.

Staub 2 in 99, (Ervin., Department of Psychology Univeristy of Massachusetts at Amherst, 1999, The Origins and Prevention of Mass Genocide, Mass Killing, and Other Collective Violence, PEACE AND CONFZICT: JOURNAL OF PEACE PSYCHOLOGY, 5(4), P. 307)

Violence usually evolves. Harmful acts by individuals make further and more in- ¶
AND
be the start of the evolution of intense vi- ¶ olence.  

C is the Solvency

The negative’s attempt at maintaining attorney-client privilege will only solidify the human hierarchy, vote aff as a way of rejecting the devaluation and victimization of the institute of privilege. 

And

Discursive rejection will solve, voting aff will actively prevent these unholy practices, discourses frame what can and cannot be thought about, and we must shift the boundaries of acceptable discourse

Bleiker, Roland. 1997 (Professor of International Relations at University of Queensland. Forget IR Theory. Alternatives: Global, Local, Political, volume 22, issue 1. p63-64. http://www.jstor.org/stable/40644880)

The doorkeepers of IR are those who, knowingly or unknowingly, make sure that
AND
false propositions based on the standards of evaluation it established to assess them.

And, 

Discursive rejection impacts the way we view social injustice

The facts belie the substance of this rhyme. Words do hurt. Words are
AND
shape/create our world—views, our values, and ourselves.
