I see this as someone who's not doing the job they're payed for. If her employers are not satisfied with her, they should just fire her.

But calling out for her to be arrested for doing her job poorly is just as bad and sad.

Do you know why she was arrested?  She went to the courts (all of the way to the supreme court) and petitioned them to enforce a stay of execution so she would not have to do her job as assigned.  Her job as assigned is to verity that people are lawfully able to wed. And to provide them with a license.  She didn't want gay couples to have access to this right.  The courts denied her request and ordered her to comply with the federal law and issue the licenses according to the law.  She refused this court order.  That is what it means to be in contempt of court.   Therefore they arrested her.  She simply does not get to pick an choose who gets the right to marry because she isn't the law.
