Why is nobody talking about the illegal imprisonment of Kaci Hickox?

[martybegan]

Christie overreacted to make points with the right

Now its....oops ...never mind

Doubtful. Christie is a leader, not an ideologue. He is looking out for the civil rights of all people, not just one. He is willing to accept consequences for his decisions. Protection of the citizens, first.

In retrospect...he did not protect anyone

Did make some points with Conservative fear mongerers though

And with the rest of the public as well. Right now we have overreaction and massive under-reaction. The interesting thing is it is far easier to quell someone who is overreacting that it is to light a fire under someone's ass to do something in our political system.

She's not imprisoned. She's in quarantine. Mandatory quarantine is necessary since voluntary quarantine doesn't work.

She is being forcibly confined against her will by the government. How is that not imprisonment? That which we call call a rose, by any other name, will make you bleed.

There is no civil right to spread disease.

She has no disease. Also, there is no civil right to commit murder. That doesn't impede the right to keep and bear arms. I know that lunatic liberals like yourself simply love the government stepping all over liberty, but that doesn't change our constitutional rights.

I want to see a National Quarantine Law passed that anyone coming from any area where there is an infectious illness is automatically quarantine for a minimum of 45 days.

No ifs, and, or buts about it.

If one single person spreads this illness in a city like New York, Chicago, LA, Detroit, Cleveland, or Miami.. It's over with.

While we do have the best medical care in the world, we also have squatters, drug users, and others who are so used to being sick that they wouldn't know that they are seriously sick and would never see a doctor. Once it starts to spread in the back alleys and shooting galleries, it will make it to mainstream America.

Then what?

You don't have the right to make me sick. Your rights end where mine begins.

Buzz Aldren. His name is Buzz Aldren.

Neil Armstrong. His name is Neil Armstrong.

Michael Collins. His name is Michael Collins.

These three American heroes were IMPRISONED following their triumphal landing on the moon. They were never charged, never arranged, never indicted. Yet they were held captive even as they were lauded around the world! What kind of government would do such a thing to her heroes?

 

[EconChick]

Um, Christy let her go.

I would just like to butt in here and say that I think Ebola is bad.

I'm officially against it.

 

[SwimExpert]

FREAKING OUT is acting like this nurse has been wrongfully 'imprisoned' or 'treated like a criminal'.

She's being forcibly held against her will by the government. How is that not imprisonment?

imo she looks like an arrogant twit for threatening to sue new jersey as they scramble to protect citizens from winding up in quarantine themselves!

Arrogant for expecting her constitutional rights to be honored? That's the problem with you big government loving lunatics. You think that rights are something that are given at the pleasure of the government. You're wrong.

 

[Nosmo King]

As soon as someone eschews quarantine citing constitutional rights, then moves through the general public spreading the deadly infection, some dumbass Right Winger will say how ineffective the government policies on Ebola are.

Christie Nurse quarantined in N.J. to be released

Yes, we know she lawyered-up. Let them have breakfast with her.

Civil liberties attorney Norman Siegel said Kaci Hickox, who was quarantined after arriving Friday at the Newark airport, shows no symptoms of being infected and should be released immediately. He and attorney Steven Hyman said the state attorney general’s office had cooperated in getting them access to Hickox.

Quarantined nurse Treatment is completely unacceptable

Again, the simple solution is to enforce a voluntary quarantine, and if the person violates it they become criminally liable for any deaths they cause if infected, and civilly liable for any costs relating to their treatment/movement/containment if they DO become infectious.

We should treat gun owners the same way.

They agreed to it ahead of time.

The pendulum should be held at exactly the place it needs to be. Unfortunately we have leaders unable to make that determination.

 

[deltex1]

TV news just said she's scheduled to be discharged from isolation/quarantine today.

tell her to get back to Maine and screw a moose.

It's too soon to tell, r/w. Remember Thomas Duncan? I am in favor of Christie's and other governors intentions, though now probably reversed: “Since the patient had direct exposure to individuals suffering from the Ebola Virus in one of the three West African nations, she is subject to a mandatory New Jersey quarantine order,"

 

[SwimExpert]

Medical quarantine is not being under arrest. Is she even saying "lemme out lemme out!" or are you just seizing this to whine like a little girl?

She is being forcibly confined against her will by the government. How is it any different?

In other words, you want to throw the constitution out the window.

Constitution is not a Suicide Pact. You should at least have a passing familiarity with the things you post about. You must be an Obama voter

Um, Christy let her go.

yep it's over, but supposedly 'no one has been talking about her'...



"New Jersey is not changing its quarantine protocol. The protocol is clear that a New Jersey resident with no symptoms, but who has come into contact with someone w/ Ebola, such as a health care provider, would be subject to a mandatory quarantine order, and a [sic] quarantined at home." Christie wrote on Twitter. "Non-residents would be transported to their homes if feasible and, if not, quarantined in New Jersey."

Take an aircraft carrier, float it in Jamaica Bay Queen just a few yards off runway 4-R. Arrivals from Ebola infected areas get to be our guests aboard the ship until they are clear of infection.

If you use a gun the wrong way you get punished.

Try again you gun grabbing dick licker.

If they have recourse via a court to counteract an illegal quarantine order, then due process is maintained. ONLY if the court review is expedited, say like an arraignment.
