According to the Tomah Journal, Mueller said that the ruling might set a precedent that any two people can marry: "We've got, for instance, two sisters, and these two sisters want to get married.

Mueller also suggested that the court's ruling will be overturned on appeal because the state's ban is not really discriminatory against gay and lesbian citizens. "They can get married. They just can't get married to each other," she argued......

that intelligent and educated people can be prejudiced and hateful. That last line - "They can get married. They just can't get married to each other" - is really a disgusting thing to say.

Fuck these people. Jesus. Unfortunately, Jeremy Irons said something similar which downgraded my opinion of him to sub zero levels.
