He "predicted" the success of their claims using old data.

That's what the Schindlers brought him to look at, procedural claims from the state court proceedings - go look at their brief. But it doesn't matter - even if I grant that it didn't constitute the de novo review that Congress wanted, she still dies because they cannot get the injunction they need in order to make it to that de novo review. "Give us more time to gather new evidence" is not now, nor has it ever been sufficient to gain an injunction. That is not an argument that meets the standards required to gain an injunction. Period. Therefore, the only possible recourse for injunctive relief was statutory relief, which Congress failed to provide.

"Give us more time to gather new evidence"

They didn't say that nor did I state that. They needed time for the de novo review. That review is due process as now defined for this situation by the law(and again as admitted by the justice). The courts failed to abide by the Constitution when they allowed the state(per order by Judge Greer) to deprive Terri of her life without due process.
