You Freepers shouldn't be too critical ... because this nurse is a dedicated civil servant ... she wants to get back to work with the CDC ... and she's afraid she'll lose her job and have her pay docked if she doesn't report for duty!

Anything for money.

She has the civil right to spread the plague if she wants to. Heck, Obama even agrees with her which is why he’s bringing the whole of infected Africa here to America. It’s “free speech” or something...darn it!

My ex wife is a nurse.
I do not get along with her and she does not get along with me.
But she is a dedicated nurse and would never act in this manner.
This 0bola servant is not a true nurse and she would make any one sick with her attitude.
She is looking for a way out so she does not have to deal with sick people.

The lawyer will clean up no matter what the result, hence why they will press the suit. Likely quite a lot of money, as I'm sure they'll press it through appeals.

Not sure how far they'll actually get, I honestly think it will just serve to validate existing quarantine powers, but the appeals process should hopefully put in some much needed limitation (just before the CDC declares gun ownership a disease...)

Excuse my “criticalness,” but it is one thing to object or question a public health decision; it is another to sue over the application of that decision to yur personal situtation which includes circumstnces for which that decision was made. Kind of like suing for access to a bathouse by an HIV positive individual.

Zakeet: "Kaci Hickox's confinement after she returned from West Africa raised "serious constitutional and civil liberties issues,"

Bull Sh*T !! She already works for the CDC !!
The only know way to prevent spread of disease is through QUARANTINE !
If she doesn't like it ->Tough Sh*t !!

She chose to go !
Her employer , the CDC, has opposed Quarantine ,
and supports the administration's "OPEN BORDERS " agenda to expose us all to Obolas virus pandemic !
Choices have responsibilities - and as a result of your choice, now ,whether you want to or not , is to NOT EXPOSE OTHERS
So suck it up ,.. buttercup !

“Nurse quarantined for Ebola monitoring will sue (for civil rights violations)”

She’s suing for money, period.

The first two nurses were thrown into caring for an Ebola patient. They followed orders given to them by the CDC, yet they were criticized by the general public and thrown under the bus by the CDC.

Now we have a nurse who voluntarily took care of patients in Ebola hot zones, and she doesn’t want to abide by orders to remain in quarantine. This is the nurse who should be criticized.

To this nurse: Listen, honey, the other nurses and patients weren’t symptomatic, either, at first.

I guess she’d rather take the chance of becoming infamous as “Ebola Mary” than spend 3 weeks in quarantine to ensure that she didn’t have the disease and if so, to protect others. Shows the total selfishness of the “me” generation.
