Nice shit and run A Theist. Noted.
I think she is a person who is being worked over (by her own volition, she's still fully culpable) by the Liberty Counsel, the fucktards "representing" her. She probably would have given up weeks ago after her first injunction. But these people have her chasing after what they know is a lost cause, but keeps this shit in the news, keeps the religious right fuming, and keeps the donations rolling in (to them, not her.) I hope she doesn't go to jail, because that will get the idiots on the right claiming that people are going to jail for refusing to "participate" in gay marriage.
In reality it will be because she defied a federal judge's court order.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I'll be damned the religiousites can ignore her whoredoms. If they can't protect the nations children from that brazen divorce slut, what can they do ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

In a nutshell: if you don't want to be required to perform duties that offend your religious sensibilities, don't work for a secular government.
Otherwise, fuck off.

I'm disgusted at how difficult it is to remove her from her position for simply refusing to do her job. Elected or not, surely there is some system in place? Does she literally have to be put in prison on some count to get her removed? Fuck this shit. She should be required to do her job, quit herself, or go to prison. This is bollocks.
Other have already said it, but let me repeat: expecting people to uphold the law and follow anti-discrimination procedures is not bigotry.
Bigotry is treating someone worse just because they are different from you. If you want to include in the definition of "treating people worse" firing people and even locking them up for breaking the law, for the protection of society as a whole, then what you are actually calling for is anarchy. You are calling taking legal action bigotry against criminals, because that is the aspect that is being judged. The fact she is Christian is irrelevant.
If you want people to be able to do whatever they fuck they want while shouting "Religious beliefs" with no repercussions, you're not going to fit into any civilised society. Remember, religious beliefs are arbitrary. That means absolutely anything is permitted. Certain Christians need to get this through their privileged skulls.

I will say this - as much as I disagree with her convictions, she is at least standing by them. Likely to her detriment.
I think that no matter what we may think of her opinions, we can give her a certain amount of respect for standing firm on what she believes is the right thing to do - no matter how wrong we may think she is.

I'd respect her if she quit. That would show integrity to her beliefs without also expecting the country to bow down to her beliefs. She wants it both ways at the moment, so fuck her.

Sorry to interject, but what convictions ?
A conviction to cherry pick scriptures to inflict on gays and to willfully ignore others she finds inconvenient ?
That ain't religion, unless she counts as her own denomination. And it's clear, as far as divorce and remarriage go, she knows more than God, she has her own set of rules on that for herself.

Actually she's just another cherry-picking bullshit artist. Typical of fucking jesus freaks.

She needs to be fired. The bitch can't be fired. It's doubtful if the State legislature has the balls to impeach her. This is going to be so funny when the muslims insist that Islam forces them to act like assholes. The rednecks will be whining like babies then. This is going to bite the American Taliban in the nuts when the chickens come home to roost.
