On Monday, a Berkeley-educated, Obama-appointed judge threw Planned Parenthood a life ring after Congress passed legislation that defunded the abortion conglomerate from Medicaid.

Six hours after Planned Parenthood filed a motion for a temporary restraining order, Judge Indira Talwani granted its wish.
