What should they do?

1. Hold her in contempt with the threat of jail time if she doesn't comply?

2. Fine her and hold her in contempt?

3. Burn her on the courthouse steps using gasoline soaked rainbow flags?

4. Other - please explain.

Fire her.

Lawsuit and the slippery slope would be off to the races. She'd contend she was fired for her religious beliefs. She'd have high profile Christian lawyers knocking on her door to work pro bono and she'd gain huge ground support from those who agree with her.

Tell her to go **** herself when you fire her. Surely the Bible is cool with that.

Fired for poor customer service, or just for not doing her fucking job.

Not sure an appointed or elected county clerk can just be fired like say an employee at Target.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out because it will set a precedence for the rest of the country.

She's sure getting her 15 minutes of fame. The story is all over the news.

Contempt of Court.

She should just be ordered to shut her face and uphold the marriage like everybody else. There's no difference between this and telling a bunch of black people they can't come to your Applebee's because of you beliefs. It's against the law and if she wants to keep her job she should just keep her opinions to her facebook feed.

Freedom from religion is just as important as freedom of religion. I'm quite sure that we can fire her for not doing her job, if anything.

We don't let Rastafarians smoke weed, we don't let whoever sacrifices chickens for their evil deities do that, we don't allow human sacrifice, we don't allow the Inquisition to stick hot pokers in heretics' orifices, we don't let etc, etc, etc. Freedom of religion is not absolute when it conflicts with the law, and this is most definitely conflicting with the law (especially since she's actively preventing a law from being carried out).

****ing fire the dumb bitch.
