Two words - States' rights.

The constitution clearly gives congress the right to determine the jurisdiction of federal courts. They did just that in this case. So, being that the change of venue from state to federal court was clearly constitutional, how can a complete review of the case by the federal court absent the imminent threat of Terri dying while the court ponders be unconstitutional?
