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.

Yeah I keep forgetting she's an elected official, my bad.  Thanks for pointing it out though.
