If her principles mattered that much to her she should have allowed her deputies to deal with marriage licences for gay couples instead of her.

It all shows that she wants money like boymonkey have said. It's a scam.

You're talking to deaf ears, there are too many that feel anyone can claim to be Christian by even the most loosest definition, as long as they claim "Jesus!!!" and can bring out one line from the bible irregardless of context that vaguely supports them while completely ignoring the rest.

but, why should it have to be christian beliefs only that should be protected? heck even the athiests have moral beliefs don't they? shouldn't they hold the same weight as those christian beliefs?

This women does not need to be put in jail.
For all of those who are applauding this Judge ...SHAME ON YOU!! THIS is the problem with our Judicial System.
Again- here we have a person who is being put into jail for a crime that has harmed no one. She refused to do her job- fire her. Replace her. But don't put her in jail with people who have committed REAL crimes that have REAL victims.
And before anyone spouts off about homophobia or bias and any such nonsense, I do not agree with what this women did. I fully support same sex marriage. That being said, what this women has done is not really a crime. What she has done has not harmed any one. It has been a massive inconvenience to those who wished to get married, but she didn't assault anyone. She did not harm anyone. There is no real victim thus no real crime. What she is guilty of is not doing her job.... so fire her and get someone who will.
But Jail?? Please... this is turning into more of a pissing contest than anything else.
what these folks who are so intent on eroding our traditional separations between Church and State are actually doing is promoting the legal aegis of US and State law over those who they truly will disagree with. States will be forced to discern what "true religious beliefs" are ... or, they will have to offer carte blanche legal exemptions to any religion (ETA Or any CLAIM of religion).

She has denied another human being their civil rights, how is this not a crime in your mind? Oh wait, it wasn't your 2nd amendment rights, so no harm, no foul.

well, to be fair, he cites the cost of calling the legislature into session as the motive. he did his job, he told all the clerks to issue the license. it's not up to the governor to remove her from office, it's up to him to call the legislature back into session so they can do it. it would be them who actually tick the voters off by removing her.

People being denied their rights are victims you may not think so bu they are.
