Framework 101
Aff vs K affs
Court Politics DA
Cross X
100

These are two categories of off-case positions a 2ac could read conditionality bad on

counterplans & kritiks

100

Framework is meant to establish one of these, rather than a ceiling 

a floor

100

If I get overwhelmed prepping my 2ac vs. a kritik at the camp tournament I should write this on my K flow to help me remember what to say

POSTAL

100

The Supreme Court is going to hear a case featuring this person vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization

Thomas E. Dobbs

100

Mrs. Ivey showed a video clip from this movie as a good example of a legal cross-x

Legally Blonde

200

If the 1nc says the status of the counterplan is dispositional, this is the next cross-x question the 1a should ask

Under what conditions can you kick the counterplan?
200

Often, framework is a reasonable 1nc option if the 1ac does not do this (multiple possible answers, choose 1)

defend instrumental affirmation of the resolution, read a plan text, utilize the US federal government as their agent to enact change

200

There are 3 kritiks in the starter packet including the cap k and these other 2

Heidegger, Water Colonialism

200

Although there are 9 Supreme Court justices, these are the 2 that matter for our DA

Roberts & Kavanaugh
200
A goal oriented cross-x of the 1ac would mean the 2n is asking questions to set up arguments coordinated with this speech

Their ideal 2nr

300

A 2ac on dispo bad should include offense, this, and a remedy for the judge

an interpretation of what the neg should have done instead

300

Much like Topicality, a Framework 1nc often defines words in the resolution. The most common word usually they define is this

USFG / US federal government

300

Against any Kritik a good 2ac will read some offense, which could be a link turn or this

impact turn

300
Our uniqueness story is that right now the court case will be narrowly decided in favor of who

Jackson / upholding reproductive rights 

300

When unfamiliar with a kritik in the 1nc, the 1a should ask the 1n questions about any of these 4 things (4 correct answers, choose 1)

1. Status 2. Whether the alt does the plan mandates 3. Links 4. Framework
400

This is the minimum amount of time a 1ar should extend condo bad if they want it to be a viable 2ar way to win

30 seconds
400

Much like with Topicality, a Framework 1nc or 2nc/1nr might say there is the way the aff should have changed their affirmative so that the neg could have been better prepared. This change is often called this

Topical Version of the affirmative 

400

The 1ar is allowed to read new evidence on the Kritik as long as this is true

The 2ac already made an argument/read evidence on the issue the 1ar wants to read evidence on

400

The DA has a variety of choices for impacts including court packing, court clog, freedom, stem cells, polarization, and this

overpopulation

400

this is the speaker the 2a cross-x'es

the 2n
500

This is how long the 2ar should extend condo bad if they want to win the whole debate on it

5 mins / whole speech

500

A commonly read evidence author on Framework is this person

Erikson 3

500

The 2ar against any Kritik serves to consolidate the debate, also sometimes known as this, which happens to be a term in public forum debate

Final focus

500

The court politics DA could be a net benefit to this counterplan (multiple correct answers, choose 1)

executive cp, congress cp, states cp, interstate compacts cp, potentially incentives cp

500

In cross x if I am the question asker I should be looking at this person when I ask my questions

The judge
