Fire her?

But Davis has refused to issue the licenses, saying her deeply held Christian beliefs don't let her endorse gay marriages.

She needs to understand who she works for.
It is not God. She has no right to use her position for personal reasons.
If part of her job is offensive to her, she needs to find another job.
She should be fired immediately.

MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) -- A county clerk in Kentucky who invoked "God's authority" Tuesday for defying the U.S. Supreme Court on gay marriage has been summoned by a federal judge to explain why she should not be fined or jailed for contempt.

Oops, she can't be fired. She is an elected official, a Democrat. She can be impeached by the legislature, but it is not in session.

As an elected official, Davis can't be fired; her impeachment would have to wait until the Legislature's regular session next year or a costly special session.

I'm not convinced she could be jailed, either.

They will. They don't understand the difference between the public and private sectors. As as elected official, you swear to uphold the law. As a baker, you can opt not to take part in ceremonies counter to your belief.

I don't get why such people can't separate civil marriage from religious marriage. Many atheists get married by a judge or whoever in a secular ceremony -- lots of religious folks wouldn't even consider them married at all. This person is giving out a certificate to engage in a legal secular contract and she acts like she is part of the chain of command from God himself. Merely because the term "marriage" is used. She needs to be removed ASAP...

She could be a quest on the Ellen DeGeneres show. The two of them could snuggle up real close on the couch and discuss her reluctance to marry homosexuals.
I'm sure Ellen will respect her opinion.

In Nebraska, the county board can remove an elected county official for cause. My home county, Thayer, has done it at least three times in my lifetime. A county assessor, a county attorney, and the county sheriff were all removed by the board. A petition drive forced a vote for the assessor, but she did not get enough votes to save her job. The county attorney and the sheriff were in over there heads and it was clear something had to be done. The Assessor, who had held the job for at least 3 terms, was over heard saying that farmers were whiners. A bunch of farmers went to the board and complained. In rural Nebraska, you have to be very careful what you say about farmers. They have been known to boycott businesses and put them out of business. The county board did not want to cross that bunch of farmers.

I suspect that she can be held in contempt of court. A few days in jail and some large fines and she will resign rather than risk more jail and more fines.

Maybe she would understand better if they threatened to burn her at the stake.

If she's an elected official then she was most likely elected by voters who share her views.
Those who could impeach her are likewise most likely elected by voters who share here views, and at least some of them most likely share her views.
That makes impeachment seem unlikely.

She can, however, be sued for malfeasance in office (or similar) in a civil suit.
IMHO, she should simply resign because she cannot, with a clear conscience, fulfill the duties of her office.
Kind of like being a conscientious objector. You get to follow your conscience but you don't get to keep your job.
