CP Browder (case neg)

CP: Consult the family of Browder, including Browder’s brothers, about whether or not they a) think the aff methodology is a good idea b) are comfortable with the characterization and use of Browder’s experiences in the 1AC in public spaces like debate and c) are good with the beginning segment of the aff being publicly online on your disclosure page and their ideas of what ought to be done as a result of the event.

Akeem Browder – Kalief’s brother – believes in staunch prison reform to stop incarceration and has started tangible reform inspired by his brother. Rather than just grief, he believes that his name should be used to do more.

CP Deportation / Immigration

Counterplan: Abolish all plea bargaining except for non-citizen deportation cases

Immigrants face dire risk of deportation for even minor offenses—they are detained while they wait for their cases to process—abolition of plea bargaining forces them to wait

Speedy trial protections do not apply to immigrant proceedings—case overload for immigrants is already bad now, abolishing plea bargaining makes it worse, forcing immigrants into detention centers for extensive periods of time

K Race, Habeas Viscus

Liberation through speech reinforces linguistic structures that naturalize the European Man – The paradigm of incorporation of the body excludes the language of the flesh whose “cries and groans” are inaudible to the world of the Man. We need to endorse other forms of languages to create lines of flight away from the structures of humanism.

Weheliye 2 Alexander Weheliye, Associate Professor of African American Studies at Northwestern University, 2014, “Habeas Viscus: Racializing Assemblages, Biopolitics, and Black Feminist Theories of the Human,”

In this closing chapter I would like to continue taking up Hortense Spillers's challenge and

flesh without the limits imposed by the concepts of bare life and biopolitics?

This figures into the production of “Man” as racializing assemblage – blackness is positioned simultaneously inside and outside Man which creates the conditions for the emergence of the sociogenetic demarcation between human and not-quite-human – instead, we should foreground the deconstruction of Man as a category – thus the role of the ballot is to deconstruct the European Man.

We affirm Habeas Viscus, a relational assemblage which transforms the hieroglyphics of the flesh into a line of flight, a new type of sumptuous freedom which can interrupt racializing assemblages – whereas dialectically opposing the world of Man only naturalizes its inevitability, our affirmation of freedom instantiates new genres of humanity. This embraces alternative conceptions of what it means to liberate bodies – debate is not accessible to those who cannot articulate the language of the world of man.
