Let's give three cheers to Milwaukee County (Wisconsin) Circuit Judge Michael Brennan who today sentenced four Democrats to jail for slashing the tires of vehicles Wisconsin Republicans had rented to help get voters to the polls.

"This case had to be a public example of what can happen when you interfere with voters' rights," said Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Michael Brennan, who rejected prosecutors' recommendation of probation for the four men.

And a raspberry to the prosecutors who suggested probation.
