I have followed this situation but it has become vastly more complicated than I can just plunk out an answer to. If I read you right, you would have her refusing same sex only, then having her 1st Amendment rights tested in the courts?

I don't see how she can refuse to perform the required duties in a government job. Hobby Lobby and Chick a fils are privately owned businesses. Now I would think they could run them as they see fit but we know that isn't altogether true. They have to conform to several laws concerning discrimination, payroll taxes, etc., etc.

But listening to the talk shows into the evening (interrupted by football), someone was saying that one or several judges should have recused themselves because they had performed gay marriages.

That was probably the Supreme Court judges, 2 I believe. I agree; she/they should have recused themselves but we know that the SC is activist now so that dog wouldn't hunt.

But there might have been something about the judge who put her in jail.

They were going to get her any way they could. As I said elsewhere, those couples could have easily gotten a license in the next county over. But they aren't about that or accommodation. They are about vengeance, and they got it with Kim in spades.

She sounds pretty determined. I looked up Revelation 2:10 which would seem to apply to our times and is strengthening.

I just don’t think it’s a great “victory” for these people if they win the right just to stop issuing marriage licenses at all. A victory would be getting to continue to issue them as they always did while refusing them to same-sex couples. If the religious objection argument was accepted by the courts, then that should be the outcome.
