Christie says he's sorry that Kaci Hickox (not Siegal, who is her lawyer!) "was inconvenienced"?? "INCONVENIENCED"?? Denying Hickox her civil rights is not an INCONVENIENCE, you [expletive deleted]!!

Ebola: Some U.S. states announce mandatory quarantines -- now what?

Is Hickox's quarantine unconstitutional?
Lawyer Norman Siegal said he'll be filing papers in court for [Kaci] Hickox to have a hearing in the coming days. He met with his client through a plastic window.
Siegal said the doctors at the hospital say there's no medical reason to hold her. The policy Christie enacted is unconstitutional and too broad, he said.
But Christie defended his actions Sunday night.
"I'm sorry if in any way (Siegal) was inconvenienced, but inconvenience that could occur from having folks that are symptomatic and ill out amongst the public is a much, much greater concern of mine," Christie said. "I hope she recovers quickly."
Hickox said she has nothing to recover from. Her temperature is normal, and she feels fine.
