Bevin’s ravings in power grab belie oath

From the Herald-Leader:
In December, Gov. Matt Bevin put one hand on a Bible, held up the other and pledged to “faithfully execute to the best of your ability, the office of Governor according to law.”

Bevin’s recent ravings about the Kentucky Supreme Court call into question his ability and commitment to that solemn oath.

...Bevin, elected as a Republican, came out of the Tea Party movement that seeks to limit both the power and size of government. But his actions as governor have seemed aimed not at shrinking government but at consolidating all its power into his own hands.
