Whatever your job is, you never know when it will give you an opportunity to showcase your morals on a public stage. Sometimes, the best way to do your job is politely declining to do your job. Justice can be refraining from perpetrating injustice.
The case against Gay Marriage was not made by the state's Attorney General, by the way. He refused to go in and defend the law so the Governor hired an outside law firm to argue that position. That was sure money well-spent.
