She's an elected official, not an employee so she can't be fired, only impeached or voted out of office.

This is fycked up.  They can't fire her for not doing this but they can jail her?

The world is oh so much safer I'm sure with her behind bars.   



She defied a direct court order. Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

This isn't monopoly, we are talking about real people.

Again, what would you propose instead?

If it's not worth removing her from office, then it is not worth jailing her.   If she is duly elected and can't be removed because her office is a trust from the people, then she is answerable to the people who can choose not to reelect her.  Or, if she is answerable to the law for her duties, then there should be a way to directly remove her from her office if she is not abiding by them.
A federal judge has no authority by which to remove a state official from office.

People should not be jailed for trivialities.  It is sad we live in an age where "liberals" cannot understand this.
Willfully refusing to perform a civil function and even refusing to allow another to do so is no triviality. It is sad that you are unable to understand this.

Personally I find it sickening that people can be jailed without even being charged with a crime.

It is a failure of her not doing her job, not that she has done anything she shouldn't have.  Is this a matter of criminal law or isn't it?  I can't fathom why it should be.
Well, if you want to turn it from civil contempt to a criminal case, then how about fraud for taking pay for a job she isn't doing?

Badger that had some puzzling and/or facile interpretations of what I said but I appreciate the compliments nonetheless.
