(to those of you who think jail is excessive)
This is really quite simple, folks. She's an elected official. She's sworn an oath to uphold certain principles, and one of those principles is equality under the law (law who's specifics can be expected to change from time to time). She didn't swear an oath to uphold her own beliefs. The question was asked of the courts "must this woman do this thing" as part of her sworn duty, and the courts (all the way to the top) answered "yes, she must do this thing". She then thumbed her nose at the court order and the court should do what? Use harsh language?
Yeah, let's NOT send her to jail and send a clear message that it's OK for elected officials to engage in official misconduct and refuse to obey court orders. Those things are for the proles, of course.
