There's no such thing as 'fundamentally right or wrong'.
The law should take precedence since it is what the majority of people consider to be right or wrong, or at least it should be that point can be debated but in essence the law is what should be followed. It's fine to disagree with it, it's fine to try and change it if it seems like it should be different, but until it actually is changed that's what people should go along with.
In that situation, if all of the circumstances were the same ie. they had actually been jailed not for giving out that marriage certificate illegally but for then refusing to revoke it then no I wouldn't be protesting that. I mean you could possibly argue the case of giving out the marriage certificate in the first place but if they are then overruled by the supreme court and still refuse to change... then yeah they deserve to be jailed.

Why do you put so much faith in the law?
Don't you agree that people of the same-sex should be allowed to marry? I gave you a perfect hypothetical where the law would refuse you the right to make that a reality yet you go with it.
It seems like you really enjoy getting things decided for you honestly.
The law is made by people, and is not necessarily good. I understand that in some cases there's little we can do about it, but protest is a normal thing. Sure she can be jailed but the question is not "did she or did she not get jailed". The question is "was it okay".
She was protesting about something and used her position of authority. In light of how the new law intends to offer people rights, isn't jailing her counter-ideological???

I'm becoming increasingly tired of seeing you post here 24/7 and then pretend to be too busy to form rebuttals to my emails.
