flag Supreme Court blocks lawsuit against USPS for intentional mail failure, citing 1946 law.

flag The United States Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the US Postal Service cannot be sued for intentionally failing to deliver mail, even in cases of alleged misconduct or discrimination, citing a 1946 law that broadly protects the agency from lawsuits over mail loss or miscarriage. flag The decision, written by Justice Clarence Thomas, holds that the law applies to intentional acts, preventing a lawsuit by Lebene Konan, a Black Texas real estate agent who claimed postal workers withheld her mail for two years, causing financial and emotional distress. flag The dissent, led by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, argued that the law should not protect malicious acts. flag Individuals harmed by deliberate postal failures will have limited legal recourse under the ruling.
