Hall/Lundberg T Debate Assignments

Topicality Debates

1. Instructions--
One person debates the negative and one person debates the affirmative. The negative needs to prepare a T violation as you would present it in a round. The affirmative needs to prepare 2AC answers. The negative will then answer the aff answers.

Use the theory house to construct your violation, you can use Planet Debate to get evidence.

There will be a 1 minute cross x after each of the first two speeches.

2. Assignments—
Laura & Jen: Plan: The USSC will overrule its decision in Brignoni-Ponce to require that police only make border enforcement stops based on probable cause. Race is not a legitimate basis for probable cause.

Kevin & Trevor, Plan: Congress will pass a law requiring that the executive branch either charge or release all people detained under the label “enemy combatant.”

Debs & Nick, Plan: Congress will pass a law limiting presidential authority to detain without charge by requiring that all detentions comply with relevant international law.

Eli & Spencer, Plan: The USSC will overrule Brignoni-Ponce by prohibiting race as a factor in border stops.
