It was her job, then it wasn't
As I understand it, it was her job to sign-off on marriage licenses for those who were legally entitled to such.
Gay were legally entitled to such.
She refused to sign-off on marriage licenses for gays.
She was not doing her job, and got sued as a result.
The law changed such that it was no longer her job to sign-off on said licenses.
She was no longer not doing her job, and the lawsuits got thrown out.
Moral of the story - If doing your job conflicts with your personal beliefs, either get your job description changed or get a different job.
I believe it's as simple as that.
