If a government worker does not want to perform the work they are emplyed to perform, there are few options available.
1. Quit.
2. Get fired.
3. File some sort of a grievance.
4. Piss and moan on the TV news.
5. Higher a lawyer and sue.
6. Grow up and do the damned job already.
7. "Go Postal" (not just for USPS workers anymore)
8. Practice signing your bosses signature and make subtle mistakes on marriage licenses that will mean the people aren't really married after all.
9. Chain yourself to your desk and go on a hunger strike.
10. Begin a sexual liaison with your boss and several higher ranking officials so they wouldn't dare fire you or even expect you to do any work at all ... except for, um, well you know [}:)][;)].
Under normal circumstances you would have some valid points, but in this situation the government has changed the rules in the middle of the game.
How would you like to sign on to herd cattle and after a year or two the boss changes the job to riding bulls?
I go back and forth on this. I can see quitting if you don't like it, or perhaps better asking to be transferred to other duties.
At the same time, you're doing a job and if the boss tells you to do something, then you need to do it. If a whole lot of people in this world suddenly started choosing which rules to follow and which to ignore, anarchy would reign. We all agree to play by the rules of the Constitution, and it would seem quite clearly that the judges have made their ruling.
I am reminded of the old line: May you be cursed to live in interesting times.
The constitution is violated every day by those fools in DC so don't pretend we all abide by it. Soon people will fight fire with fire....just saying.
