Having government employees freelancing on policy rather than following the law would be a Pandora’s Box that would let meddling socialist bureaucrats run even wilder than they already are.

You miss the facts. Kim Davis was not arrested for violating a law, she was arrested for disobeying a judge. IF such a law were on the books there would have been no need for the judicial theatrics thus far.

Last time I checked, judges don't write laws and states trump the fed regarding marriage jurisdiction.

Try disobeying a judge and see what happens to you... it won’t go any different for you.

It’s not because of a law written by any court, it’s because of a law passed by Congress, specifically 18 U.S.C. §401 (1964), the federal contempt statute.

As far as 9th/10th Amendment jurisdiction is concerned, I wholly agree. But if those Amendments are suddenly in force again, 90% of the federal government has to be unwound - and the sad truth is that 90% of this country doesn’t want that to happen.
