I don’t get how this is a 1st amendment issue. There is no ‘right’ to be a government functionary. If she doesn’t want to do the job of handing out government licenses in accordance with the law she can quit. Nobody is forcing her to do so.
I believe anyone has a right to open a bakery and serve whomever they please because it is their labor and their property, but nobody gets to be a government clerk and start deciding how to apply the law contrary to the direction of the courts. She can decide she doesn’t want to do it, but she can’t decide no one else can. A clerkship is not a fiefdom.

Let me see if I can help. She is an elected official, she was elected because her constituents believed she best represented their belief systems. She claims she is acting in good faith based on her constitutionally protected religious beliefs. I for one don't doubt her on this. That being the case, the correct procedure would be to impeach her. Not put her in jail because because she does not believe as you judge she should.
