...this is an elected official, they do not answer to the judiciary, but are (supposedly) a co-equal branch.

And that, I think, is THE issue here - separation of powers. The fact that she is the elected County Clerk is an extremely big deal, according to the Constitution. Those who point out that she's no different than the SF City Council for creating a "Sanctuary City" are mostly right, except she has the 1st Amendment behind her, and SF doesn't.

Yes, and no different from Obama refusing to enforce laws he doesn’t like either.

Too bad we can’t jail him to force him to comply with the law :D
