The simplest, most effective, and most conservative solution is to remove the government from marriage. The state can do that on its own and there’s not a damn thing SCOTUS or any other Federal leftists can do about it.
It’s the insistence that government be a party to marriage which is the invitation to mischief.
A marriage is between a man and a woman - not a man, a woman, and a government.
Give up the insistence that the government can tell you if you’re married or not, and the problem solves itself permanently.

IBTZ.
Actually, there is an even easier solution. Mrs. Davis is objecting because as county clerk, her signature is required to be on the marriage license, above a statement that says that the marriage is occurring under her authority. To her, that says that she PERSONALLY is giving approval for the people receiving the license to marry. The state could easily change the law removing the requirement that the county clerk's signature be on the license. Or they could change the wording of the license to simply say that the license is being issued pursuant to state law, and remove the language that says that the marriage is taking place under the authority of the county clerk. Either one would resolve this issue.
Bunk.
The whole point of "freedom" and "all men are created equal" is that a free society is at liberty to make their own laws by mutual consent without them being dictated by a tyrant.
Marriage is not just some religious artifact. It's the basis of the society. And the society enforced that with their laws, which has been the case since pre-history.
The People's laws were overthrown by a judicial diktat in all of these cases. The judges should have been removed from office and the law restored.
When the system breaks down, that's when the People have the right to remedies by other means.
