You should be more clear about what you are saying. Dr. Frist clearly states that Congressional INTENT was that a stay would be discretionary. He states that his own ASSUMPTION is that a Federal Court would grant a stay.
As much as Dr. Frist may wish it were, his own assumption is not tantamount to the intent of Congress.
Now you're reaching for straws. Frist clearly says that the intent of Congress, is for a new hearing, from scratch, and that for that to happen Terri should be alive.
And yes, that is what Frist was going over in the colloquoy. HE is only the Senate Majority Leader, so when he is Sheparding a Bill thru passage, he clearly speaks to the intent of the bill.
