Rep. Earnest Istook (R-OK) went down hard tonight in the Oklahoma Governorâs race.
Istook was the author of the ridiculous "Istook Amendment" which banned transit authorities from selling ad space to drug reformers and was quickly shot down by a federal judge in a no-brainer first amendment ruling.
Istook vacated his seat in the House to run for Governor, so it looks like heâll now have plenty of time on his hands to re-familiarize himself with the Bill of Rights.
