but employers must accommodate an employees religious beliefs. remember when businesses were sued to allow muslim employees to pray five times per day? the same thing applies here as well. if an employee has a religious objection to gay marriage, then they cannot be punished for that, and the cannot be forced to support that.

Wrong, as for her not to grant a license infringes on others legal rights. Muslims were not infringing on others rights.

She is not being punished, anymore than a high school grad is if he were turned down at a job needing an MBA. She is unsuited to perform all duties.

And that's a bunch of BS, if the job I'm providing requires you to be there whenever you can take it or leave it.

Only if you support First Amendment rights and others, for all public servants... such as unionizing...

The word you're looking for is reasonable accommodation. Time for prayer is a scheduling matter, not a refusal to carry out a central function. (For 8-5 employees, it's of course only twice during work hours. Smokers are at least as hard to accommodate.)

Here are clerks I respect not due to agreeing necessarily with their views, but by their acknowledgement that this was the ethical path to take..unless they complied with the SCOTUS ruling.
Great. At least someone has enough stones to stand up for their beliefs rather than whining or bowing down like puppy dogs that just got flogged.

Exactly. Someone who isn't into getting paid from tax dollars to practice his/her own religion and beliefs.
