== Support or Opposition not the same as Jurisdiction of an Issue ==
== WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2008 ==

''"She opposes same-sex marriage and abortion in "nearly all cases", saying both issues should be decided at the state level."''
== Added some images ==


This appears to say that because she believes these issues ought to be decided at the state level, therefore she opposes same sex marriage and abortion.
Hey! I added some images. She's been in the news a lot recently as a congressional candidate and I thought it'd be cool if her picture in the infobox reflected her more recent activity. Totally cool if someone wants to shift the pictures around some. ] (]) 06:59, 2 April 2014 (UTC)


However, whether an issue should be decided by the local, state, or federal government is a separate question than whether one supports or opposes a particular issue or practice in principle. For example, one can support or oppose abortion, but believe that it is a not a federal or Constitutional question (as the United States Supreme Court recently held in overturning ''Roe v. Wade''); or one can support same-sex marriage but believe marriage law should be governed by the states (as it was throughout American history until the ''Obergefell'' decision in 2015).
== A-10 Enforcing No-Fly Zone ==


It may be the case that she opposes both, supports both, or opposes one and supports the other. But these are separate questions from the question of jurisdiction (which level of government ought to have authority to decide these questions).
The article as well as some of the source material asserts that McSally flew A-10s in support of enforcing the no-fly zone. I thought that enforcing the no-fly zone was left to aircraft such as the F-15 and F-16. While I imagine an A-10 could be useful in destroying SAM sites and such, I haven't found any specific information on how A-10s were employed enforcing the no-fly zone. I think it would be good to either provide supporting information or rewrite to clarify the A-10 role. ] (]) 18:30, 16 September 2014 (UTC)


This should be clarified in my opinion. ] (]) 18:13, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

== Senate election ==

I hate to use the ] policy as a blunt instrument, but someone claims in the lead section that Ms. McSally is running for US Senate and provides only one citation, which is a broken link to the WaPo. A quick search for her name on Google News turned up nothing to corroborate that claim, so I'm removing the claim for now. ] (]) 15:33, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

==Military band funding==
"While Army band funding has been the subject of congressional debate since the early 20th century, Arizona Republican Martha McSally spearheaded the most recent efforts to review military band structures in 2016. In her speech to the house, she criticized the half-billion dollars spent annually on military bands, stating that such funds would be better directed toward national defense. The approved amendment required the military to limit and review band activities." (https://www.myheraldreview.com/news/community/fort-huachuca-band-completes-final-mission-alumni-community-reflect-on/article_445feec0-7354-11e8-9457-570141ad1072.html) 18 Jun 2018 --] ] ] 04:11, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

== Donald Trump subsection is ] ==

I have removed the subsection on Donald Trump per ]. The article is on McSally and her political career, not Donald Trump. Trump is not an "issue", nor is he the reason why Arizonans voted for her. They ''did'' vote for her based on her positions on the issues: Abortion, Russia, Education, Environment and energy, Foreign and defense policy, Health care, Immigration, LGBT rights, Women's rights, and Taxes. The current president simply does not belong in that list. Case in point: have there been BLP articles on Democrats that have had Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton or Bill Clinton in the political positions sections? No.

And so, this is where discussion on the removal should take place, not in edit summaries following a reversion. I could be making a ] move by saying this, but I will happily take a stand against anyone's choice to revert rather than taking part in discussion. Yes it was a bold ('B') move to put it into the article, however, my removal should be considered the 'R' (revert) in the ] cycle. Time to discuss in order to come up with a solution rather than further revert or start an edit war and become part of the problem.

Discussion was started, but {{U|Snooganssnoogans}} is nowhere to be found on this page, rather, he chose to revert instead. This is becoming a habit with you, SS. Time to start an RfC later today if you can't find your way to this talk page ''and'' bring some salient, logical, and policy-based reasons why "Donald Trump" should remain listed as a subsection in the political positions/issues section of this article.

::It might belong in the article, it doesn't belong as a subsection in the section where it currently sits. Doesn't matter how many RS's you come up with, it's the section placement that's the issue, not the content.

That constitutes ], ] to make a ] and ]-pushing. You're not a victim, by the way - it would probably be best for you not to continue with that kind of crying-wolf self-narrative.

Views on Trump are perfectly fine in 'political positions' sections (if the content in question is reliably sourced), and are frequent in politicians' articles, including Democrats Joe Manchin's and Heidi Heitkamp's. If politicians have extensively sourced views on other figures, such as Hillary Clinton (as in Heidi Heitkamp's article) or Barack Obama (as in Dan Lipinski's article), then that content also goes into the 'pol positions' section. ] (]) 15:45, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Support or Opposition not the same as Jurisdiction of an Issue

"She opposes same-sex marriage and abortion in "nearly all cases", saying both issues should be decided at the state level."

This appears to say that because she believes these issues ought to be decided at the state level, therefore she opposes same sex marriage and abortion.

However, whether an issue should be decided by the local, state, or federal government is a separate question than whether one supports or opposes a particular issue or practice in principle. For example, one can support or oppose abortion, but believe that it is a not a federal or Constitutional question (as the United States Supreme Court recently held in overturning Roe v. Wade); or one can support same-sex marriage but believe marriage law should be governed by the states (as it was throughout American history until the Obergefell decision in 2015).

It may be the case that she opposes both, supports both, or opposes one and supports the other. But these are separate questions from the question of jurisdiction (which level of government ought to have authority to decide these questions).

This should be clarified in my opinion. Tpkatsa (talk) 18:13, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
