There are private bills passed by Congress all the time that provide relief for a named individual and these are non-controversial. I would surprised if the courts found a bill unconstitutional that simply allowed the petitioner to bring a case before them. It does not interfere with the separation of powers in any way or grant any special treatment to Terri Schiavo. The bill simply grants her and her parents the same rights all other Americans take for granted. I don't see why any one, least of all a federal judge, would have a problem with it.

The private bills passed by Congress for individual relief are requested by the petitioners themselves. In this case the individual for whom the relief was provided did not request it. Nor did her guardian. There are many legal issues here, one of which is whether the Schindlers have the legal standing to request such relief.
