Maine Gov. Paul LePage has sent state law enforcement to the home of nurse Kaci Hickox, USA Today reported Wednesday.
Earlier Wednesday, LePage said he would seek out the support of state police to keep the nurse, who recently returned to the United States from treating Ebola patients in West Africa, in isolation. According to USA Today, state police cars are now stationed outside Hickox's home. ___________
Kaci Hickox told NBC's "Today" show and ABC's "Good Morning America" that she was abiding by the state's voluntary quarantine by having no contact with people Tuesday and Wednesday. But she said she will defy the state if the policy isn't changed by Thursday.
"I don't plan on sticking to the guidelines," Hickox said on "Today." ''I remain appalled by these home quarantine policies that have been forced upon me even though I am in perfectly good health."
blah blah blah blah.....

There are two Maine State police cruisers stationed outside the house she is in (her boy friends house) They will enforce the self-quarantine she agreed to but is now saying she will not obey
If the privileged princess break quarantine, the cops should shoot her.
Good for the Governor.
This can only enhance his standing with the voters of Maine.
If I am an Operating Surgeon preparing to work at her local Hospital, I will not want this Nurse on my staff at all. She Cherry Picks the rules she damn well wishes to follow at any given moment.
“Hands up, Don’t shoot”!
This is maine...she might get run over by a Moose when she leaves the house...
I say let the crazy b*tch nurse out, let the people of Maine handle her, if you know what I mean
I'd settle for it being rock salt the first time and a dart that would just put her to sleep for 24 hours the second, third, and fourth times. Let her lie where she falls.

I think LePage is at least a nominal Republican.
So this is no surprise given that libs Cuomo, NJFatboy, and O’Malley have all been pro-quarantine.
It’s a slam dunk win as far as public support. The Baraqqi Regime seems to have a suicide wish on this topic.
She’s a democratic operative!
And a really dumb one if she thought scrubbing her LinkedIn profile was going to prevent folks finding that out.
I’m all for public safety, but we need to exercise caution whenever we cheer the state infringing on anyone’s rights. just because we perceive some do-gooder nurse as a liberal “peace corp” anti-american brat, does not mean we should cheer the state taking her 4 amendment rights away.
The state must have clear, unambiguous evidence of an imminent threat before anyone’s rights are abridged, from her 4th amendment rights, to your second amendment ones. I’m not certain that threshold has been reached.
Absolutely a dem operative. I expect her to be at the Whitehouse getting a medal and a beer....and maybe a big bear hug. I’m going to post a piece of her best work...a report she did for CDC.
Yes. She is Obama’s and Klain’s poster child that will put a face to the discrimination being shown hero healthcare workers returning from Ebola ravaged WAfrica. Just another Obama battle in the war against America.
there is no right to walk around freely after exposure to a contagious, deal disease. I would welcome any cite you have to the contrary.
