Kentucky Clerk On A Mission From God

I've never thought a clerk in any court in the nation was filling a religious office when they gave out marriage licenses to folks that wanted to get married.  On the contrary, a clerk in a bureaucracy is more like a tax collector than a minister.

If the job description says you look at a form to make sure it is filled out correctly, collect the required fee and issue the license, that's the job.

The honorable thing to do if you can no longer abide by the requirements of the job, is to resign your position. You can always explain your reason for leaving your last position.  In fact, this Kentucky clerk has probably raised enough sand regarding the issue to get a job that pays more and will be able to raise enough money to cover the related legal expenses.  If one is to believe her position politically is popular, martyrdom  isn't always a big sacrifice.
