    Kaci Hickox left her Fort Kent home with her boyfriend on Thursday and went for a bike ride, trailed by reporters and a state police cruiser. They returned about an hour later.

    State officials are going to court to keep Hickox in quarantine for the remainder of the 21-day incubation period for Ebola that ends on Nov. 10.

    Police are monitoring her, but can’t detain her without a court order signed by a judge.

    Hickox contends there’s no need for quarantine because she’s showing no symptoms after treating Ebola patients in West Africa. She told reporters on the bike ride that she hopes that a compromise can be reached “amicably.”

    Like all liberal lies, this one is collapsing too. The chaleria is not any kind of volunteer. She was in Sierra Leone as an employee of CDC and was sent to Sierra Leone in the capacity of an official CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) officer. Coincidentally, an opportunistic leftist “civil rights” lawyer who took up her case was recently a dinner guest at the White House with Barack. There you go! She is simply a leftist activist hack.

    They need to arrest her. And they need to enact legislation immediately to allow them to arrest these rebels before there’s another black plague, this time in America
