CP-UT Tournament: UT m \| Round: 1 \| Opponent: Someone \| Judge: Judge Text: The UN will create a hybrid court that instantiates truth commissions to contribute to “the creation of a historical record” to help rectify the abuses carried out against . To clarify, truth-seeking will be valued above attorney-client privilege in the US, while truth-seeking is instantiated internationally. ICTJ is solvency advocate Ask me if you have any questions, happy to answer	12/6/13
Happiness NC Tournament: Grapevine \| Round: 2 \| Opponent: Marcus YP \| Judge: Tyler Cook (Most this case is analytics) Ought means moral obligation. Normative ethics are subjective because people are different and different views. This means all actions are permissible, and permissability is different than obligation. Thus you negate because the aff has to prove the resolution true. The Standard is Maximizing Life Prefer this for 6 reasons. First- Rational beings act in self-interest and only see benefits when things directly affect them Second-Democracies are made up of people, thus government actions collapse to people. Also,all normative ethics collapse to happiness. This is true because morality attempts to preserve some ‘good’ which is ultimately decided by people. Also, the neg framework is a side constraint on morality. This means that before a discussion of what is moral, we have to decide if there is a possibility of being moral in the first place. Because all moral theories seek pursuit of happiness, absent of a clear increase in happiness, every action is immoral. Third-Happiness is epistemically justified because it adapts as society progresses Fourth-Happiness is what gives us the will to live Fifth-We determine desirable actions by what we see. Only observe things through direct observation. Sixth-Happiness is the basis of all community interaction I contend that having the Choice to Vote Maximizes Happiness First-The Status Quo preserves happiness This is true because people can always do something else if they do not wish to vote. There is also an opportunity cost of voting in terms of happiness. Second-Compulsory voting decreases happiness Wilkinsons (Will Wilkinson, “Thank You For Not Voting” This article appeared in the Ottawa Citizen on October 22, 2008, http://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/thank-you-not-voting) and#34;low turnout can signal social solidarity...policies the candidates support.and#34;	9/19/13

Probability NC Tournament: Greenhill \| Round: 2 \| Opponent: Colleyville AS \| Judge: Eric Melin *This case is mostly analytics. First Burdens The affirmative has the burden to prove the resolution true. This is true because of the definition of affirm and negate. Text comes first only source of pre-round prep. Voting is not in a vacuum thus we are debating the status quo. Second Definitions. Ought is defined as “used to indicate something that is probable.”http:oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/ought This means proving the resolution as improbable is sufficient to negate. And, normative ethics are relative meaning that the resolution would be incoherent if ought is a moral obligation, thus means “probable.” Mackie (J.L. Mackie was an Australian philosopher - wrote six books; Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong; Chapter Five: The Subjectivity of Values; Pg 74-75; 1977; Full Text Upon Request ) "The argument from relativity ...objective values." If the affirmative wins the definition of ought you would still negate on-face because normative ethics are relative thus everything can be permissible. Permissibility is mutually exclusive than obligation Third-Compulsory Voting is improbable in a democracy, Statistics prove Brookie (James Harrison Brookie, Accepted by: Michael Maloney, Committee Chair Robert Tollison Laura Olson, “THE EFFECT OF COMPULSORY VOTING LAWS ON GOVERNMENT SPENDING” August 2008, http://etd.lib.clemson.edu/documents/1219852617/umi-clemson-1745.pdf) "Currently, there are 31 countries with some form of compulsory law" And this out of 117 countries Gresser (Edward Gresser,”The world has 117 electoral democracies.”October 24th, 2012 http://progressive-economy.org/2012/10/24/the-world-has-117-electoral-democracies/) "By 1990...total of 117" This means that only about 26.4957265 of democracies have compulsory voting	9/21/13
