Kaci Hichox, the left-wing nurse who is currently quarantined from traveling from an ebola infected area in New Jersey, has retained a Norman Siegel, a left-wing Democrat lawyer to represent her.
Siegel, a former lawyer for the Occupy movement and former director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, wanted Hichox for a test case.

A self-described “progressive,” Siegel supported protesting outside of the home of Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

He’s also supported anti-NYPD police measures as a lawyer.
Hichox’s retention of Siegel raises still new questions about how she may be politicizing the travel ban and Ebola quarantine. Hichox didn’t disclose her ties to the CDC, a government body that opposes a travel ban and a quarantine in a controversial op-ed she wrote for the Dallas Morning News.
“I asked [Hichox] if she wanted this to be a test case,” Siegel told the New York Times, “and she said yes.”  http://gotnews.com/left-wing-democrat-ebola-nurse-hires-left-wing-lawyer/
