Accordingly, these standards control whether temporary injunctive relief is warranted, notwithstanding Congress' intent that the federal courts determine de novo the merits of Theresa Schiavo's claimed constitutional deprivations. It is apparent that Theresa Schiavo will die unless temporary injunctive relief is granted. This circumstance satisfies the requirement of irreparable injury

Notwithstanding these findings, it is essential that Plaintiffs establish a substantial likelihood of success on the merits, which the court finds they have not done.

Idiots. They admit Congress' intent is for the case to reheard from scratch, yet they say the likelihood for Theresa's "victory" is low. How can they say that? The intent is that the case has not been heard. They forgot the Constitutional mandate of the fifth Amendment --- nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. Due process has not been met until the case has been reheard at the federal level.
