"That was the whole point behind tonight's legislation - TO GIVE THEM THAT RIGHT TO SUE IN FEDERAL COURT."
Yes, but they (the federal courts) are going to refuse that right. They don't want a right imposed upon them by the legislature. And they don't have to accept it. And they won't.

You know this how? WHO gives 'rights', wow lady and you worry about protecting your system.
That is what I am afraid of...seems too many judges have their pants in a wad these days. Hopefully, there are one or two who understand the situation and can be reasonable.
That's what I'm thinking, too. But we're not supposed to be allowed to think things like that. It's doubleplusungood.
Why are you so sure about that? Unless you know the actual federal judge involved and have received that specific information from him or her, you cannot make that statement with any confidence.
Don't be silly. They may not rule the way we want, but they can't deny someone standing if they've met the statutory requirements provided by congress.
Congress has acted by its constitutional authority to determine federal lower court jurisdiction. Yes. The judicial clowns have a constitutional duty to accept the case. If they refuse to do so, Congress can (and will) impeach and remove the judges involved.

Events yesterday have somewhat undermined your premise. Whether or not they don't want the legislature imposing such a right (for an individual or the people), Congress has the constitutional mandate to oversee the federal court system below the U.S. Supreme Court per Article I, section 8, paragraphs 9 and 18, and Article III, section 1.
'Course Judge Whittemore may dismiss the Schindlers' suit, but that won't have any affect on the congressional subpoenas ordering HINO, Terri, attending hospice physicians and several hospice staff to appear on 3/25 and 3/28 before two committees. The subpoenas require that the summoned witnesses be protected from injury or harm. If this judge waits too long to issue his decision, he, too, will be (technically) guilty of contempt of congress.
