tony perkins is the author of "no fear."how do you respond to those who say if she cannot do the job for what she was elected she needs to resign? >> what she's asking for is something we've done histor historically in this country. she's not saying the office cannot issue those licenses, she's saying she doesn't want her name on there. the governor could easily resolve this by executive order similar to what bobby jindal did and protect her based upon her religious beliefs. >> he said he's not going to do that. unless she resigns, the only way to get her out is to impeach her. the judge put her in jail and let her out. he noted that the deputy clerks who are issuing the licenses have instead of putting her name, they've been putting rowan county in lieu of her name. her attorney, matt saber, you and i both know him. during this rally he wasn't sure what she was going to do when she was going to go back. maybe that accommodation wasn't enough. if that's legal, she's good with that. she doesn't want to be party to something t
