Nebe, the constitution gives the baker the right to act in accordance with his religiously informed conscience.

As others have said, you can't have an entire public agency unwilling to obey the law. If she didn't want to issue a license for religious reasons, it should be easy enough to have someonbe else in the office do it. But gay couples absolutely have the right to get the certificate from someone in that office.

That said, if she is subject to arrest for violating this law, why can't we arrest the officials of sanctuary cities for violating federal immigration laws?

No one died because this woman refused to issue mariage licenses. The officials of San Francisco have innocent blood on their hands, so why is this clerk in jail and not the mayor of San Francisco?
