AND not only that, she was not arrested for failing to carry out some ‘law’, she was arrested for CONTEMPT - but you can easily argue that ordering her to obey some non-existant law is not valid order.

You seem to be reading that law as saying that anything a judge orders must be obeyed - and that is not the case. He can only order things that are lawful

So, once again I ask- what LAW says she must issue a marriage license to same sex couples. According to HER STATE LAW (and marriage licenses are a stat issue) says she issues licenses to one man and one woman.

If a County Clerk said he won't issue gun permits because he's a Quaker, would that excuse him?

Actually, under the 2nd amendment we don't need a permit for our guns.

Having said that, I'm sure another clerk can be found to issue that unconstitutional requirement.

“There is no right to do wrong.”

And that’s exactly what you need to say to start with, so many are so dumbed down. Unfortunately, after that you are often answered with the relativistic “mush,” Who’s to say what’s right or wrong?”
