She shouldn't have been gaoled, she should have been given a verbal warning, then a written warning saying that she will be terminated unless she issues the licenses, and then been fired if she did not obey.

It's in the constitution, you cannot establish religion. And that means you can't apply your religious beliefs to the lawful engagement with agencies of the local state and federal govt.

Loving the hypocrisy again coming out of the Republican candidates. They wrap themselves in the constitution any chance they get, but they are quick to ignore the constitution when it impinges on their desire to impose their religious beliefs on everyone. Oh well, just another day in politics I suppose.


She did get a written warning in the form of a court order. You act as if she wasn't given ample opportunity to change her ways but that certainly isn't the case. Also, she was an elected official who couldn't simply be fired.
