I think it’s admirable for a public official to say that he or she won’t enforce any law that’s fundamentally immoral and in contradiction to God’s laws. But the only way to keep that promise consistent with the oath of office is for the official to resign when she thinks enforcing the law would be wrong. Given Davis’ statement of faith that it would violate her interpretation of God’s will to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple, she should quit her position as county clerk. She must resign or she’d be living in a position of hypocritical sin. Keep in mind that by saying she won't issue the marriage licenses while serving in office, Davis is also, if I may say so, committing a sin by violating an oath she made before God to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Unfortunately the law now requires her to issue licenses for gay couples. Every moment she disobeys the law, she is violating her oath of office. The Bible doesn’t look kindly on oath-breaking. The only way for her to emerge from the state of hypocritical sin is to resign.

Before you tell me that the Constitution doesn’t require states to allow gay marriage just because the Supreme Court says it does, think again. Like it or not (in this case I don't) the Supreme Court’s interpretation of law and the Constitution is binding and that’s a constitutional principle that can’t be denied by anyone who works for any part of the U.S. government.
