Kevin and Keith Stitt continue to stretch the limits of a petty sibling rivalry.
In a noble effort to both get out of a ticket and annoy his little brother, Keith Stitt – the fast-driving, hard-living, law-practicing older brother of Kevin – has been putting up a very successful McGirt-backed legal fight over a $250 speeding ticket he received in Tulsa three years ago.
If you remember correctly, the Stitt family lied, cheated, and stole their way onto the Cherokee tribal rolls over 100 years ago, so Keith claimed a speeding ticket he received while in Tulsa on tribal land was invalid thanks to McGirt – the landmark 2020 Supreme Court decision that extended tribal sovereignty – a ruling his brother Kevin has been unsuccessfully fighting against ever since.

A filing by U.S. attorneys agreed with arguments made by Governor Kevin Stitt’s brother, Keith Stitt, in his ongoing case challenging the State of Oklahoma’s jurisdiction to prosecute him for a traffic ticket he received on tribal land.
U.S. Attorneys filed a brief on Tuesday arguing the State of Oklahoma does not have jurisdiction to prosecute Keith Stitt for a traffic ticket he received from Tulsa Police in 2022, because he is a tribal citizen…
When Keith Stitt first started fighting his speeding ticket a couple of years ago, my theory was that he was nothing more than a double-agent plant for Kevin, and was going to try to invalidate the McGirt by putting up a terrible legal fight.
