Say THAT ten times fast :-) :-)
Seriously, the Congressional "intervention" was a non-issue whether the case was "fixed" or not. It was seven years after the real intervention and did not affect Terri's murder by one minute. Terri's story lasted fifteen YEARS and half that time she was under legal death threat. Congress didn't show up till the last six or seven DAYS.
I don't know if you caught it, but Senate Democrats -- including Tom Harkin, who is supposedly pro-life -- sabotaged the bill by insisting that it be personal to Terri. Congress is not supposed to make laws for one person, it is supposed to make general laws for everyone. The Demos knew it would be struck down on appeal. Due to the time pressure, the House had to buy the flawed version in conference committee.
The case was fixed when an early attorney erred by putting that Terri was pvs in the record. It wasnt true but that lady is now a judge, appointed by Jeb Bush.
