If the tables were turned and the supreme court banned gay marriage and a clerk defied that order and went to jail, you would all be outraged. It's not seeing the forest for the trees.
You really don't see a difference between the two?
In one scenario, you have a stupid fucking bitch refusing to comply with a law that grants people their rights. The stupid bitch was given EVERY opportunity to avoid jail time. She was told as long as she didn't interfere with her co-workers issuing the licenses, she wouldn't go to jail. But the stupid cunt said no. It's against her religious beliefs. So she gets to decide for the entire county that the supreme court is wrong, and she's not going to hand out marriage licenses. Apparently this is 'standing up for your beliefs' according to some. What it really is -- standing up for bigotry.
In the other scenario you have someone who is trying to disobey the law because it deprives someone of rights they may not have by law, but should fucking have anyway.
Civil Disobedience has it's time and place. This isn't one of them. The fucking cunt should be thrown in jail for refusing to comply with an order that gives other their rights, and doesn't interfere a fucking bit with her own rights.
