outside of established law

On the contrary, they acted within established law. Your complaint is that they DIDN'T act outside of established law.

Also intersting is this bit of word game they play with in the comments section.
Our dissenting colleague says that “the denial of Plaintiffs’ request for an injunction
frustrates Congress’s intent, which is to maintain the status quo.” Dissenting Op. at __. The status
quo is that Mrs. Schiavo is not receiving nutrition and hydration. The plaintiffs do not want the
statusquo maintained. Theywant this Court orthedistrict courtto issuean injunction affirmatively
requiringtherespondents to change the status quo bybringing about the surgical procedurenecessary
to reinsert the feeding tube into Mrs. Schiavo.

That ignores EVEN THE PART THEY QUOTED from Frist and Levin, that says, I would expect her to be Kept ALIVE. WHich was the status quo. Nope, No Activism to see here...move along.
