Tournament: Greenhill | Round: 2 | Opponent: Opponent | Judge: First, the intended-foreseen distinction ought not be applied to questions of the morality of action for two reasons:
The causal structure of action, or the temporal entity that separates intended ends and foreseen ends, is not intrinsically morally relevant. Enoch 1 writes, Enoch, David (Professor of the Hebrew University at Jerusalem). Intending, Foreseeing, and the State. Legal Theory, Vol. 13, No. 2. 2007. Pgs. 9-10. NN. “Let us apply this test, then, in order to check whether causal order is morally significant….is that it does not.”
Mental states, such as intention, are key to the evaluation of agents, but have no bearing on the evaluation of action. Enoch 2 summarizes Thomson, Enoch, David (Professor of the Hebrew University at Jerusalem). Intending, Foreseeing, and the State. Legal Theory, Vol. 13, No. 2. 2007. Pgs. 16-17. NN. “Think about a…think, the more general conclusion”
If the intended-foreseen distinction is flawed, absolutist theories collapse into consequentialism. Enoch 3, Enoch, David (Professor of the Hebrew University at Jerusalem). Intending, Foreseeing, and the State. Legal Theory, Vol. 13, No. 2. 2007. Pgs. 43-44. NN. “In order to see that this is nevertheless…consequentialism is hard to resist67.”
Second, the obligation of the state is to protect citizen interest
This goal is implicit in the very existence of the state Kennan writes, Kennan, George (Professor Emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton). “Morality and Foreign Policy”. Foreign Affairs, Vol. 64, No. 2. 1985. P. 205-218. NN. “Second, let us recognize that…acting on the basis of them”
And, our obligation as debaters is to act in a way that mirrors the decision of policy makers. This allows us to engage in policy-making role-playing, which is the most educational part of debate. Shaw writes, PEDAGOGY IN INTERNATIONAL STUDIES Using Role-Play Scenarios in the IR Classroom: An Examination of Exercises on Peacekeeping Operations and Foreign Policy Decision Making CAROLYN M. SHAW Wichita State University “The use of role-playing…in our ‘‘national interest.’’
First, compulsory voting forces people to seek out political knowledge. Milazzo 1 writes, Caitlin Milazzo University of California, Davis, Department of Political Science. Forced to Vote: The Impact of Compulsory Voting Laws on Political Discussion. March 15, 2008 “The model tested in this…when voting is mandatory”
And, political discussion increases political education—leads to increased civic engagement. Milazzo 2 writes, Caitlin Milazzo University of California, Davis, Department of Political Science. Forced to Vote: The Impact of Compulsory Voting Laws on Political Discussion. March 15, 2008 “In addition to reducing the…at the national level (Knoke 1990)”
Moreover, Compulsory voting increases civic engagement in political affairs—cross national data from 37 countries prove. Milazzo 3 writes, Caitlin Milazzo University of California, Davis, Department of Political Science. Forced to Vote: The Impact of Compulsory Voting Laws on Political Discussion. March 15, 2008 “The results provide support for…information through other means.”
And, CV is key to solving for political apathy—multiple reasons. Harvard Law Review writes, Harvard Law Review. The Case for Compulsory Voting in the United States. Vol 121 No 2. 2007. “Another indirect benefit of…rather than staying at home on Election Day.44”
Second, compulsory voting increased informed voting—uninformed voting is more likely under a voluntary system. Shineman 1 writes, Victoria Anne Shineman Visiting Scholar, Center for the Study of Democratic Politics, Princeton University. Compulsory Voting as Compulsory Balloting: How Mandatory Balloting Laws Increase Informed Voting Without Increasing Uninformed Voting. 2010. “Results – Hypothesis 1: Moving …marginally significant (p = 0.054).”

Tournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 1 | Opponent: X | Judge: X The Standard is Resisting Capitalism.
First, Ethics. Capitalism destroys the meaning of ethics—uses ethical prescriptions as a means to a financial end. Morgareidge 98, Morgareidge 98 —Associate Professor of Philosophy at Lewis and Clark College (Clayton, “Why Capitalism is Evil”, Radio Active Philosophy, Lewis and Clark Educational Papers, http://legacy.lclark.edu/~clayton/commentaries/evil.html ) Well, what is the...seat at the table.
Second, epistemology. Recognizing that the epistemology of capitalism manipulates our understanding of policy is a pre-condition to evaluating the resolution. Marsh 95, Marsh 95- Professor of Philosophy at Fordham University, PhD from Northwestern University (James, Critique Action and Liberation, p 331-2) Is it reasonable, therefore... confirm such a judgment. a Prefer affirmative evidence- academic structures have been vertically integrated into the machine of capital. Abstract theorizing directly fuels capitalist accumulation by attempting to explain away the clear and present nature of exploitation. Lander 02, (Edgardo, Prof. of Sociology and Latin American studies at the Venezuelan Central University in Caracas, “Eurocentrism, Modern Knowledges, and the “Natural” Order of Global Capital, Nepantla: Views from South”, 3.2, muse) BSH The naturalization of...controversies are decided.
Epistemology is logically prior to all other parts of the debate- how we form knowledge informs the conclusions we can draw.

Power and truth: a reply to William Wallace Review of International Studies (19 97 ), 23 My central claim is...of common sense. (508-9)
Third, Value To Life. Capitalism turns people into profits, they become nothing more than commodities to be bought, sold, and destroyed— value to life disappears.

Fourth, Role of the Ballot. The role of the ballot and judge as an educator is to reject arguments based on asymmetrical power relations—because pedagogical contexts are inherently political, we have a unique opportunity to promote real change. Trifonas 03, PETER PERICLES TRIFONAS. PEDAGOGIES OF DIFFERENCE: RETHINKING EDUCATION FOR SOCIAL CHANGE/ RoutledgeFalmer. New York, London. 2003. Questia.

Part 2: Inherency In the status quo the majority of criminal and civil courts extend attorney-client privilege protections to cover communications between attorneys or their clients and expert consultants--preventing the legal opposition from knowing about the existence of the expert’s communications.

Thus, PLAN TEXT: For all federal criminal court circuits, the USFG should remove attorney-client privilege protections from all communications with expert consultants except in situations in which (1) consultants serve as necessary interpreters or translators of information exchanged between client and attorney or (2) an external consultant is determined by the court to represent the client in the delivery of the client’s information to the client’s attorney.
