Jailing her just makes her a celebrity martyr for the “war on Christians”, just what her handlers want. She is a pawn, a stupid pawn obviously but still, just a pawn. Faux News alone will collect millions of dollars in ads while running endless, breathless stories about the gentle Christian lady / clerk sitting in a cell somewhere because of “her faith”.
A better deal, I think, is for the Judge to impose an escalating fine for every day she refuses to do her job. $1 day one. $2 day two. By the end of a month the fine is more than half a billion dollars. Even if her “supporters” start out covering the cost for her, even they will choke at those numbers. But, a month from now, the news cycle will have forgotten completely about her. She will be bankrupt and utterly discredited, but she will not be a “cause celebre”.
