A state judge rejected attempts to restrict her movements, saying she posed no threat as long as she wasn't demonstrating any symptoms of Ebola. Hickox said health care professionals like those at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – not politicians like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Maine Gov. [[Paul LePage]] – should be in charge of making decisions that are grounded in science, not fear."<ref>[https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ebola-outbreak-maine-nurse-kaci-hickox-to-remain-advocate-against-quarantines/ Maine nurse to remain advocate against Ebola quarantines] 9 November 2014, ''CBSNews'', accessed 28 January 2020</ref>
