Um, I also have to thank a ton of people for allowing us to get to this point. Um, the tournament I have to echo what Papis and Miles said, David Hinksman, Paul Bellis, Kyle Vent, Chris Randle, Cory Stone, Sharon Hopkins, Paul Johnson, all the other students, alums worked really hard, made this the best ND in recent memory.
Thanks to John Fritz, the entire ND taboo staff, the ND committee, and the board of trustees. Thanks to my parents for giving me this opportunity and putting up with the craziness of my life and providing the resources to participate in this great activity. Thanks to Lexington High School Zuo, Jack Tyler, Sarah Sanchez, who was and still is the best high school debate director in the country.
Sarah set the foundation for my success now and I doubt I'm very thankful that she took that time she did and came out deadly sick for the last I don't know how we made it this far kind of Miles carried me here um thanks to all the judges we've had who've given us great advice throughout the year people like Strauss Turner on this panel others who have spent probably hours maybe more than that responding to our emails So, I can't tell you how valuable those responses have been and in making us better debaters, and that's what makes to perform at our best.
Uh, thanks to our opponents, AP, uh, others obviously, uh, Minnesota. I just want to call you all out. You amazing debate. Last one. It's the craziest debate I've ever been a part of, and I envision this being a great debate to end the fantastic season. Next, uh, alumni and outside support for Northwestern debates.
Unbelievable. The number of messages I've gotten throughout the year from people who have no reason to really anymore is amazing. Advice from older alums, Warden, Tristan, Gotautle has been invaluable. Support and cards from others like Luke, Greg, Fred, Blaine, not being here, but still cutting cards has always been awesome. They're amazing. We couldn't have done it without them.
If I can give back even a bit of what I've received from NU alums, I'll be somewhat satisfied with my debate career. Um, the staff we brought to this NDT is truly unbelievable. Garrett, uh, I've loved leading lab with you the past few years, and you've proven to be an even better team logistics director this weekend.
Thanks for all you did to get us food and information on time. C Rob and LT, didn't really know you both before the NDT that well in person, but your willingness to help out and do everything asked of you shows how deep the IDU alumni ties run. C Mayor, probably the most dedicated Northwestern Wildcat I've ever met, and he did anything and any everything for the team this weekend.
So, thank you, Rob. Awesome to have you back with NU at this NDT. Thanks for all the advice you gave us on the K. Aiden egg. Sorry we didn't use any of it against Bosu. Uh Aaron Hardy, tech mastermind and dedicated to doing whatever is necessary to win. The great pre-round coach. Thanks for coming back.
I pleaded for it at the coast. I'm glad you came. Ryan taught me the tools of the trade to be a 2A and how to give a winning 2 using persuasion and flare rather than just sometimes substance which took up took up an NDT assignment uh despite being super busy. I think you work at Palunteer.
So, um, sure. I'm extremely thankful to have your co-work week the last couple two weeks ago was great. You've always been someone I've looked up to and your constant support and unrelenting bleeding of purple and white has always been amazing. Staff, you've been my a role model at NU ever since I've been here.
Your impact, despite being busy in recent years, has been huge with all your app advice and being willing to finish all the impacts to my app's terrible internal links. You have truly taught me what it means to be a Northwestern 2A and I can't express how thankful I am for all your support.
Peyton, you've been a constant supporter and even been around this year at a few tournaments while crushing law school at Harvard, which shows how dedicated you truly are to Northwestern debate. I couldn't have asked for a more graceful partner to debate with and you really paved my way in college debate and will be one of my best friends forever.
Thanks for being my rock when I've had up and downs and for everything you do. Sorry, it's meant to keep going. My NU teammates are amazing. NU debates a family. Like Miles said, we win and lose as a team. We couldn't have done it this year without all of them. First, our freshman Pauline and Mchugh have been great alongside coach Slim and Callahan who have been the most ridiculous card cutters I've ever seen.
There's a bright future ahead. I'm excited to see it. Our juniors, Rebel and Connor, Connor independently winning the semi with that CCP card, who have seriously stepped up this year as our team has been younger than usual and had a great run at the MDT and I'm ready to see you all next year crush it.
Jesse, Phil, Mara, Evan, Linda, Rachel, Mountain, Jack, Haley, Raheem. Although no longer really fully part of the team, have been super supportive and will always be part of the NU family. A lot of you came along this weekend when you didn't have to and crushed on scouting and doing anything we asked for.
We chose how deep the NU ties run. We all believe in a dream and strive for excellence rather than the immediate payoff. The reason I love the team is that people don't buy in because of what we do. They buy in because of why we do it. What we do just serves as proof for what we believe.
character, commitment, teamwork, hard work. Next, our full-time coaches have been the most unbelievable three I've ever worked with, and we wouldn't have been here without them. Bontton, I said this two years ago, I still don't understand how many cards you cut. Between your unbeatable case and amazing framework innovations and politics cards, I'm not really sure what you can't do evidence-wise.
And thank you for all you do, and you truly deserve all the accolades of keeping our NEG ship and probably even our app ship, to be honest, in order the past few years. Uh, Andrea, what can I say? You came into a new environment and immediately put your stamp on all of our prep, argument, strategy, and success while seamlessly fitting in.
I'm confident in saying there's nobody else I would want on my side. Cutting a every a card on the topic, mostly because you cut all of them. Being able to balance during a ton of app work with totally writing the team's logistics has been unbelievable. I can't thank you enough. Finally, Fitz, this year has been up and down, but we couldn't have done it without you.
from the busyiness of the fall with miles in my job search to your house flooding issues that never ended. You still have always made your best effort to be a guiding force for the team. Your perspective on critique debates, plus teaching me how to be a 2A has proven invaluable. And outside of debate, I'll never forget all the D street meals and hearty talks because you're always you've always been my coach, but even more so recently, you've become a close friend.
Fitz understands debate team dynamics and knows exactly how to sculpt students into the right mindset going into every debate with me. He started my freshman year never shutting up about excellence. then gave me a bunch of samurai bushidto ethics quotes my sophomore year transitioned to sports and adversity quotes last year and this year he stopped doing anything but but he's been such an influence on my life that I'm the one quoting the duck when teaching our younger debaters I I don't think there's a higher compliment than saying that Fitz has continued the duck's legacy despite students like me never meeting him and I made the NU and has made the NU program even stronger by
massively increasing our involvement in things like the Chicago debate league sorry finally Finally, last but not least, I have to thank Miles, who I couldn't have done any of this without. He's been a beast from day one. From truly becoming a critical theory scholar and teaching me all about flux and the temporality of war.
I don't really know what those are still, but to always being there to help think through app ideas or let me shut down on his crazy let's hack the app by being silent the whole debate on the NEG ideas. These past two years couldn't have been a better end to my debate career.
I don't think I've ever said this, but I firmly believe you have been the best debater I've been lucky enough to see, given your flexibility and understanding of every argument type. It's been an honor to debate alongside someone who cares so much about this community and continuously works to teach others how to play this game the right way despite all the adversity we face.
Really going to miss debating because this activity has been my life for the last eight years group of people like Miles Ellis Papus the judges here who push me to be better every day and are willing to argue with me about everything and anything. That being said, I'm sure I'll keep bickering with my bias and debating conditionality being good or bad for years to come.
It's for sure. Um, and if I forgot I'm really sorry this went super long, but thanks for everyone who's helped us along the way. Okay. Uh I release a little by the way. Don't worry about I I advantage Polarmo K. I pick state, the wolf da, the low act, the judicial budget DA, the federal Yeah, everyone else good.
Yeah, IHL. I think it's just the one. It might be. So, IHL picked the federal Congress CP and then the state Congress CP. Go state courts work 56 acting together solves confusion that same paratics in Paris evidence is explicitly talking about state courts applying HR to violations within the US. This article is limited to suits against foreigners abroad like the ATS on the plan Paris 13.
In conclusion to avoid being misders, I want to limit this article sentence in my corn foreigners shopping method by which they human rights article not for them right the same for human right civil rights occurring United States focused on human rights in the nation US against foreigners for conflict occurring abroad similar to the ATS IHL works are posted into their defense and assume 50 state unified action human rights working their all causes don't matter we solve non-compliance which is what their all causes are about because the states filling in are the reason federalism concerns the reason why we don't aren't able to comply with treaties like the Vienna convention now that's another meal effort multilateralism
