Is there a national law that states a county must issue marriage certificates? I don't mean to either same sex couples or between a man or a women, I mean period.
It's not a national law. The description for her job, as per the state, is to issue marriage licenses. She won't issue them to SS couples. Every court with jurisdiction has ruled she has no standing to make that decision. She still refuses.
Her court hearing is Thursday. If I was a betting man, the court will ask her if she still refuses. If she says yes, in front of a judge, he will either throw her in jail for contempt, or fine her for contempt. Or both. Judges get really pissed when people flout the law, or refuse to follow a court order.
One way or another, she will lose. The rule of law is powerful in this country, and she does NOT have it behind her.

I read that she stopped issuing them completely, no matter the orientation of the couple.

Yes … She is not doing her job for which she receives her salary …
She is like a police officer who just doesn't respond to a 911 call, or a firefighter who just stays in the station snuggling the dalmatian puppy, or a nurse who stops taking vital signs, or a carpenter who declines to pick up a saw or a two by four, or a chef who refuses to prepare a dish … etc. ...
"Turn in your keys, clean out your desk … Don't come back tomorrow …"
Yes …
The recent SCOTUS ruling is the governing law in this and other similar cases, as per The United States Constitution, which is the Supreme Law of the Land in every county in every state ...
Except the Constitution doesn't mention marriages.

But is there a law stating that the county has to issue marriage certificates to anyone?
Most of those evangelical Christian groups don't condone out of wedlock children and aren't too fond of divorce either. I wonder how many marriage licenses she's given to people who have had out of wedlock children or who have been divorced?
Then how many marriage licenses might she have given to someone who worked on the Sabbath? It all goes against her "religion".
A little picky, choosey here.
she herself has been married FOUR times.... that is how much regard she has for the sanctity of marriage.....
