The Incredible Hulk? 2106 Report post Posted May 9, 2009 It functions the same way as any other perm. Something isn't mutually exclusive with the plan - perm. For instance, let's say the neg reads a disad saying aff costs Obama political capital that he needs to deploy troops to Pakistan - impact is nuclear war. The perm says you can do the plan and still send troops to Pakistan because the two aren't mutually exclusive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest svfrey Report post Posted May 9, 2009 a DA is an advocation of the status quo or a competitive policy option that either solves the link or doesn't link at all. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

db8er4nyc 9 Report post Posted May 9, 2009 but a DA is not advocating something It may not be advocating something, but by perming you solve for the impact of the DA. That means you use the plan as a passage for solving the DA and thus it can't outweigh. since the Perm text was "Perm : Do the Plan" that incorporates the DA, basically an add-on to the 1AC if worked right. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patriotsdebate 10 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 From my understanding, there are more ways to perm politix da. For example, with a political cap da: Perm: pass plan have obama veto, and then override the veto. Then you just say, its normal means. This is sketchy ground but its worked for me in the past. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saske 429 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 The permutation isn't so much of an "advocacy" as much as it is a test of the intrinsicness of the link. Basically, on a disad, it's a glorified it's a link take out dealing with the question of whether or not the disad is intrinsic to the plan. Of course this raises some theoretical concerns... 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
