I think this might be closer to the answer but still raises the 'why doesn't she just quit if she doesn't want her name on gay marriage certificates' question...
Which brings up the 'surprise' employment term change implied in the first post.
Maybe the answer is some sort of 'grandfather clause' application of selective clerk name application.
Is that a 'reasonable accommodation based on faith'? The US Supreme court has case law regarding this.
Or does it open up the whole 14th amendment Equal Protection issue again because there are 'artificial' lines being drawn among people who are 'similarly situated'?
What do you think?
