Have those mayors been court ordered to do so? (This is the distinction that matters.)
If so, and they still refuse due to their personal or religious conscious - then yes, they should resign. Or go to jail or be fined - whatever the judiciary believe will be most efficacious to win their compliance.
Again, I wonder if the same people would be so adamant in the Davis defense if the clerk were a Muslim imposing her personal or Islamic beliefs. The screeches of "Sharia" from many of the same defenders of Davis would be deafening.
I'd bet a paycheck their wouldn't be a rally outside the detention center when she was released, no Survivor blaring 'Eye of the Tiger' - and certainly no politicians mugging for the camera.
So, one should only follow federal law after being court ordered?
