The District Court shall entertain and determine the suit without any delay or abstention in favor of State court proceedings, and regardless of whether remedies available in the State courts have been exhausted.

Without delay? Yeah, sure.

The procedure that the judge was to have followed is pretty stricly laid out. He, however, treated it as an appeal, not a request for injunctive relief pursuant to a trial along the lines required by the act. In other words, he has exceeded the authority of his office.

Lest anyone claim otherwise, the Congress establishes the laws that organize and regualate the courts, which is their power under the constitution.

"After a determination of the merits of a suit brought under this Act, the District Court shall issue such declaratory and injunctive relief as may be necessary to protect the rights of Theresa Marie Schiavo under the Constitution and laws of the United States relating to the withholding or withdrawal of food, fluids, or medical treatment necessary to sustain her life."

This is the controlling section- not the one you cited. And it was without delay.....
