A judge issued a new ruling Friday that removes some of the restrictions placed on Kaci Hickox, the nurse who the state has been trying to quarantine since she returned to Maine earlier this week.
David Soley, a partner in the Maine law firm Bernstein Shur, which is representing Hickox, said that the judge issued a moving oral decision that sets conditions for Hickox that she has intended to follow all along.
The new restrictions call for direct active monitoring of her condition, coordination of travel with public officials and a requirement that the state be alerted as soon as Hickox develops symptoms, Soley said. It does not prevent her from leaving her house or being in contact with other people.
The new rules will be in place until a full hearing on the state’s petition, which is scheduled for Tuesday – Election Day.
“The judge issued a very beautiful and moving order in the case. I listened with tears in my eyes,” Soley said.
“He said basically we wouldn’t be here today but for a woman who cared for and comforted people who are stricken with a terrible disease,” Soley said, referring to Chief District Court Judge Charles LaVerdiere’s oral decision. “He was aware of misconceptions and bad science being spread from shore to shore.”
“The judge said people are taking actions out of fear that is not rational and inappropriate,” Soley said.

What ‘restrictions’?.....she apparently doesn’t have any......................
Of course he would. Wanna put bets on what party he belongs to?
Yeah, she is free to infect as many people as possible unless she restricts herself.
When the crap really does hit the fan, this country is in trouble.
Was this judges ruling a trick or a treat?
The law firm he works at is a Real Estate Litigation Group. He regularly represents entrepreneurs and property owners in disputes over boundaries, titles, easements, mortgage priorities, partitions, purchase and sale agreements and other real estate issues. LOL.
house her at the judges house or with his grandkids.
How about she move in with you, judgie wudgie?
She should be forgotten and ignored.
It looks like she was nothing more than a set up like Sandra Fluke and its pretty unlikely she had any contact with Ebola patients in Africa.
oooops. Sorry.
What the hell is going to happen if we do get a serious outbreak? Will any state have to power to prevent infected people from infecting others?

That’s prolly how it’ll play out.
Just what we need...lawyers making medical decisions.
I agree...She’s another Fluke.....no pun intended....but I’ll take it!!
This story neglects to mention that the state of Maine argued that her roommate in Africa tested positive for Ebola, but doesn’t know how she got infected.

Homosexuality, bestiality, pornography, and letting Typhoid Mary do whatever she wants. These "judges" can and will justify everything that is wrong and evil.
