I don't think she'll cave because even if she doesn't see herself as a hypocrite for being a divorcee refusing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, she definitely would see herself as a hypocrite for augering in like she has only to cave in at the end. It would take a herculean amount of rationalization for her to defend such an action to herself and she would not only be in a continual losing situation with her ideological opposition who would just see her as more of a hypocrite than she already is, but she would become a hypocrite to her current ideological allies who are backing her for "taking a stand for christ!"
Despite the lack (total absence) of criticism from ACTUAL Christians, her theological ERROR is considerable. We've got 3 Gospels where Jesus forbids divorce, and there's at least one OT verse (God hates divorce) too. And the icing on the cake, Christ never mentioned homosexuality.
This heretic is tightrope walking without a net. That the current crop of slacker Christians aren't condemning her is telling as to the actual extent of sincere religious conviction as it exists today.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
