The courts are not the "employers" of the clerks. That would be the people who have elected them.

Why don't we ask her employers how they feel about forcing her to issue homosexual marriage licenses? I very much doubt the "consent of the governed" is in favor of it.

Are you in favor of government by the consent of the governed?

You are not getting it. It is not the court who is acting as employer, it is the city or county. The court has stated what the case law is and the employer is directing the employee to carry it out. I support employees who resign or civilly disobey and are willing to go to jail for their beliefs. In fact, I would send money to a legal defense fund.

The decisions of the USSC are consent of the governed. The elected officials consented and appointed the judges and they have the power to remove them.
