Capitol Alert

California's congressional delegation doesn't exactly have the reputation for being chummy. But it isn't often that one California rep threatens to physically remove another at a committee hearing.

That is what happened Tuesday as House government oversight committee chair Rep. Henry Waxman questioned EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson. During his questioning, Rep. Darrell Issa tried to stop Waxman citing House rules.

"I will have you physically removed from this meeting if you don't stop," Waxman snapped at Issa.
