At one time slavery was the law of the land.

So was prohibition.

And the Supreme Court ruled that blacks could never become citizens.

Should we enforce that, Don?

And so were many other bad SCOTUS decisions that were eventually corrected by future SCOTUS. However, until a President is elected that can put forward SCOTUS candidates and federal judges that would rule otherwise, we’re stuck with them. I don’t like it one bit and I have struggled with the issue of religious conscience of the clerk vs. the “law”, even as much I do not like the law. We are a nation of laws and this current administration is not recognizing that. They willingly do not uphold federal law (immigration, guns, etc.)and I fear if we (conservatives) go the route of disobeying laws just as they do, we head toward anarchy which I fear this present administration and those of their ilk that wish to carry their mantle forward want. The clerk is exercising her Constitutional right to conscientiously object to the law, however, she also swore an oath to follow the Constitution. If she cannot reconcile that with her religious beliefs, then she has no other choice than to go the route she did and I applaud her for having the courage and fortitude to do so. But the fact remains the judicial branch ruled and the executive branch is enforcing the law. And that’s the way the system is supposed to work. Of course that does not address the moral decay we’ve fallen into over the last several decades that has brought us here. Hopefully this will be an awakening to many to see how far the pendulum has gone, and make them want to push it back through becoming engaged in the process, voting for those that will follow through on their promises and voting out the establishment/uniparty candidates; holding them accountable. It took a long time to get where we are, and it will take a long time to push it back, but it can be done. We are Americans. We have done more difficult things.
