re: Ky. clerk jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples

Over dramatizing the whole case, this isn't just about the gay couples,

The article I read says:

Davis has refused to issue licenses to any couples, gay or straight, since the U.S. Supreme Court in June ruled that same-sex couples have the right to marry under the U.S. Constitution, citing her religious beliefs.

Another article says:

A federal judge ordered a Kentucky county clerk to jail Thursday on contempt of court charges after she repeatedly refused to grant marriage licenses of any kind following the Supreme Court’s ruling on gay marriage.

So she isn't doing her job at all. She is just collecting a paycheck. If she can't be fired, then the impeachment process should start immediately.
