“And you seem not to understand that the Natural Law trumps any Federal Law.”

Really? And who decides what “Natural Law” is?

“God burned entire cities to death because of faggotry. I think it is a little more serious of an issue than “divorce”.”

I agree, and I believe America will either repent or face His wrath. But can a county clerk decide which laws to obey? Can a county clerk refuse to issue licenses that fully comply with the law because he or she doesn’t agree with their morality?

A county clerk who is unwilling to issue licenses based on the law should resign. If she cannot be fired, then she should fall under contempt charges for refusing to obey the law.

She is not, at any time, being asked to give her personal approval of an act. She is only saying it is legal. And in this case, it is.

I will agree when you can show me the law she is refusing to obey.

What a strange question. If you understood the last 1000 years of Christian jurisprudence, you would know that noe on decides. Natural Law is the law of nature. The law that God wrote in the heart of every human being.

It wasn't coincidental that sodomy was called "the crime against nature."

That is not the question. The question is "Can immoral laws compel obedience?

The "Following Orders" excuse led to some very horrible results. I eschew a philosophy underpinned by that principle.

No. You don't have to obey immoral orders. In fact, you have a duty to fight them.
