California Assemblyman Roger Hernandez -- Democrat from the San Gabriel Valley -- will lose a significant amount of his power at the state Capitol, now that Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon is stripping him of his committee assignments.  Rendon announced the move Friday, shortly after a judge issued a restraining order against Hernandez for physically abusing his ex-wife.  Capital Public Radio's Ben Bradford explains the significance of the punishment.
