Also dig into reasons why trusts kill competition and hurt consumers. The examples the affirmative brings up about good monopolies are the exceptions that prove the rule about monopolies being bad. Maybe there are two or three times that monopolies would be good, but compare that to almost a century of competition leading America to the greatest economy the world has ever seen. Monopolistic controls have been damaging in other nations. Look up the role of monopolies in nations that suffered from the Asian Financial crisis in the late 90s.
Prosecutorial discretion is the ability of a prosecutor to decide how to proceed with a case.
Discretion empowers the prosecutor to decide whether to file a charge, what charge to file, what penalty to seek, possible plea bargains, and how to argue the case in court if the case gets there. Affirmatives should research the possible excesses of prosecutorial power and how that affects defendants. The prosecutor s discretion might be the place where racial disparities in imprisonment and capital punishment are found. Take care not to forget that you must advocate equal treatment under the law. Many of the rounds I have seen on this topic proved effectively that prosecutors could be out of control, but never justified the precedence of equal treatment under the law.
