[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted this elsewhere: what if a clerk solely responsible for issuing gun licenses in a county were to decide that, since guns do nothing but kill, he or she could not in good conscience issue any gun licenses?

That seems like a reasonable analogy, though I don't know the specifics of an elected clerk role.  Seems strange to me that termination is not an option.[/quote]

Termination is not possible because as an elected official, she doesn't have a boss to terminate her. There are three more years of her term. The legislature can impeach her, but they don't meet again until next year.[/quote]

Interesting.  I gues. I always thought of elected roles as for those people that would make, interpret, or enforce the law.  In other words, we elect those positions that will be filled by people who we expect to exercise judgment (that hopefully reflects the will of the constituency).  I'm confused by why this is an elected position in the first place then.[/quote]
