“I think it’s wrong,” said Republican State Representative Mike Reynolds.Ok… so technically… she didn’t actually take the oath to defend the Constitution… Just sayin…
Reynolds also has concerns over the appointment of his fellow Republican.
He’s asked the state’s attorney general to look into the case.
“If someone offered me a job, I wouldn’t take it because I took an oath to defend the constitution,” said Reynolds. “In my reading of the constitution, it’s very plain language. You cannot take a job for two years after you leave office.”
The state constitution prohibits lawmakers from working for a state agency if their salary is authorized or appropriated by the state legislature.

Mary Fallin to Offend the Constitution
Well if it’s not plagiarizing KOSU in your inaugural address - then it’s accidentally saying you plan to offend the Constitution rather than defend it.
Calling Dr. Freud… emergency .. come right away!
“Mary Fallin was sworn in Monday as Oklahoma’s first female governor, but in reciting the oath of office she really didn’t promise to “support, obey and defend the Constitution.”What exactly does the TeaParty think of a Governor who won’t defend their own constitution? I mean come on… Also can I just say Alex’s excuse of “it was too cold to say the letter ‘d” is simply ridiculous.
At an outdoors ceremony in bone-chilling and teeth-chattering cold, Fallin told Oklahoma Chief Justice Steven W. Taylor that she would “support, obey and offend” the U.S. and state constitutions.
“She dropped the ‘d’,” Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz said Wednesday. “I was amazed that anyone was able to speak at all or get any of their lines right considering how cold it was outside.” It was 29 degrees and light snow was falling when Fallin recited her oath of office on the steps of the state Capitol.”
