Republicans would not allow this to be filmed by either ABC News crew or Mr. Fox, in direct contradiction to normal Congressional Committee procedure (including this committee)

Fox being arrested, Democratic committee members angered:

We do this at the State and Local levels here, we don't need the President making this his thing so he can feel all high and mighty to his sheeple. Before anyone fracks any land here in Colorado, there is a hearing, there are test done on the surrounding area and it is decided whether or not it will be permitted. Will they be checking on all construction permits as well? How about water well digging and water rights? Will nothing be left for the State and local governments to handle?
