Good for her for standing her ground!
Are you planning on paying her fines, or serving her jail time?
Like you leftist shitheads are afraid of getting locked up or fined when you occupy public buildings, commit acts of vandalism, and crap on police cars?
She'll do just fine. Like I said, good for her for standing her ground. I look forward to more officials standing up to you petite tyrants.
I support her right to her religion. And if she believes that issuing marriage licenses to gays violates that belief, she is welcome to resign.
What she is NOT welcome to do is to hold state business hostage to her religious beliefs. What she is not welcome to do is violate her oath to uphold the US Constitution.
She should resign in protest.
She doe snot have to resign THE PEOPLE elected her.
