TV stations are relied upon heavily for live severe weather coverage. If you have to rely on some yahoo out of Atlanta to provide street-by-street updates, what's the point?

Because it actually doesn't matter.  The yahoo out of Atlanta can produce the same exact forecast as the local person. 

Of course they can provide the same forecast. The anchor can rip and read the forecast. But when it comes to an actual tornado on the ground, can Atlanta tell people at a truck stop in Valley View, Texas to take cover?

The Weather Channel does local coverage of severe weather outbreaks quite often: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPezO6WK6eQ
Furthermore, primary alerting of tornadoes is the responsibility of the National Weather Service and the Emergency Alert System.

Trump "likely" to give a 90-day reprieve: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwypng0rw0lo

A strange application of Andrew Jackson's assertion, but so be it.

Not a rejection of SCOTUS, just a rejection of a congressional statute that SCOTUS merely upheld. So that's different from Jackson.

I am impressed by how finely this hair is split.

Oh, it's very straightforward thing by recent standards. Talk about "deplatforming" if you really want to enjoy some doublespeak

Stinkypants can easily just browbeat Congress into rescinding the ban they voted for. Problem solved. Win for Stinkypants.
