Congress has no power to control Judge Greer. He is not a federal judge. All they can do is limit federal courts, not state courts.

True that. While I agree the federal judiciary needs to be reined in, even if there were no federal judiciary it wouldn't have made a difference in the Schindler/Shiavo litigation. An out of control state judge was the sole finder of fact and the Schindlers appeals to the USSC were all denied. Result would've been the same.

very true. but the point was that congress had every right to go in and deal with the question of whether or not terri's case could be heard in federal court. and THAT was the point. what the lawyers did with that opportunity was another question entirely.
