Unless there is no bail, she was ordered to stay in jail until she starts issuing the marriage licenses.
That may be unconstitutional. No bail is usually reserved for murderers and others who are a high risk to skip bail.

She might get let out on the weekends. I keep going back to this show on HBO Show Me a Hero. It's basically the same thing except the reason is different. Elected officials refuse to follow a federal court order, they are jailed and fined, but they were let out on the weekends.
Religious freedoms derive from the first amendment, so the first amendment is imminently relevant here. Ms. Davis is invoking her religious freedoms, also stated as a conscientious objection, to justify her refusal to issue marriage licenses. She is free to exercise her first amendment rights to free speech and to object but she is not entitled to dereliction of her duties as an elected official. what's the problem?
She's ignorant. She is not Martin Luther King Jr. for God's sake. Nor is she Henry David Thoreau. How in the hell can you admire someone like that when it's been proven that she is a hypocrite who is on her fourth marriage and was pregnant with husband #3's twins while still married to husband #2. But she has the moral standing here? Give me a fucking break dude....that's absurd.
to point out the splinter in one person's eye while ignoring the one in your own is hypocritical, plain and simple.
She may have made some poor choices in her life but that doesn't mean she can't stand up for what she believes in.
