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.

They can't fire her, otherwise she would have been fired by now.

I think they probably could have, but it would result in a protracted legal battle over being fired via religious discrimination.  Much better and easier on the State to let the SCOTUS ruling deal with it.

You can't fire an elected official, the same way you can't just fire the President or a member of congress.
