Another way to state the point you make is that every judicial ruling since Congress passed the new law
has flatout refused to give her the de novo hearing the law requires them to give. The burden of proof they place on the Schindler's to show likelihood of prevailing first, is a giveaway.

They have to be basing that on the official trial record of Greer, but the new LAW says they must not defer in any way to the record but must give a trial de novo. Further, the new law implies that the feeding tube must be reinserted because everyone knows she will die without it, and a new trial would take time. That fact has been ignored at every step.

Those blaming the lawyer, and he may well be blameworthy, fail to note what the Statute clearly says the courts must do, which they have refused to do. The courts can read the text of the LAW; they don't need any good lawyering to help them.
