She wasn’t jailed for breaking a law. She was jailed for contempt of court by refusing the judge’s order to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples.
As an elected official she can’t be fired and must be impeached to be removed from office. From what I’ve read she would be re-elected if she chose to run again as most of her county supports her.
Judges can’t make-up law from the bench, although many do.

WRONG!
SHe was JAILED for refusing to recognize the Judge’s Authority to Legislate and create New Laws. THERE IS NO LAW allowing her to issue ANY LICENSES, it was Invalidated by the USSC. Even though article 3,section 2 says an “Appellate” decision by the supreme Court DOES NOT APPLY TO A STATE, only those case the supreme Court held in it’s ‘Original Jurisdiction” apply to STATE’S.
the word SHALL, means it is MANDATORY and THEY MUST HEAR THE CASE. They Did NOT, the decision only applies to the individuals involved.
Article 3, section 2 US Constitution:
n all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
The Governor and the Attorney General should have already imprisoned the Judge for Felony Kidnapping.
