The headline of this article is “County Clerks Resign Nationwide After Gay Marriage Ruling”. They then list less than 10 County Clerk employees nationwide who resigned. At last count there were 3,143 County and County-equivalents (Parishes, boroughs, etc.) in the US If you assume that each County Clerk’s office has 10 employees (the one listed here had 3, I assume LA County has a LOT more), this comes to 31,1430 employees, of which 10 resigned. This comes out to 0.03%. Truly a groundswell of epic proportions.

The exercise of one's rights ought not be dependent upon the numbers or power of those wishing to exercise them.

I'm fairly certain there are others among those county clerks that are simply in no position to resign over this, but probably wish they could.

I have absolutely no problem with those people who exercised the courage of their convictions and resigned rather than do something against their beliefs. Kind of makes you question level of commitment of those who claim that this is against their beliefs and don’t do anything, doesn’t it?

I was merely pointing out that the implication that there is a nationwide groundswell of actions is not supported by the math. After all, 10 out of 31,000 isn’t real impressive, is it?
