I'd say they've been practicing open civil disobedience for a long time. They are supposed to be serving the people.
We the people are the ones who cave and none of us will practice open civil disobedience. We have chosen to obey these traitors and tyrants, because to do otherwise is so very inconvenient, expensive and strenuous.
Some of the government employees will quit or be fired for refusing to issue marriage licenses to homos - the governors won't step in to stop that travesty either.
They are slaves to the state orders - which suits them, because they are hidebound to law and order above everything else.
Preach it! The problem is, freedom requires great sacrifice. We, as Americans, are entirely unwilling to make the sacrifice, because we would rather NOT live in freedom in liberty - we'd rather give over all responsibility to the FedGov and let them take care of us. That way, we don't risk our jobs, our homes, our cars, our toys, our big screen TV's, our big sports games and the booze we drink while watching them! Sacrifice all that? Hell NO!!!
