#SCOTUS rules the #PostalService can't be sued, even when #mail is intentionally not delivered
A divided Supreme Court Tues ruled citizens can’t sue the #USPS, even when employees deliberately refuse to deliver mail.
By a 5-4 vote, the justices ruled against a Texas landlord, Lebene Konan, who alleges her mail was intentionally withheld for 2 years. Konan, who is #Black, claims racial #prejudice played a role in postal employees’ actions.

Justice #ClarenceThomas, writing for the 5 conservative justices, said the federal #law that generally shields the #PostalService from lawsuits over missing, lost & undelivered #mail includes “the intentional nondelivery of mail.”
In dissent, Justice Sonia #Sotomayor wrote that while the protection against lawsuits is broad, it does not extend to situations when the decision not to deliver mail “was driven by #malicious reasons.” Justice Neil #Gorsuch joined his 3 liberal colleagues in dissent.
Hahaha, they are letting you know they are going to cheat by messing with the "voting by mail" system, so if anyone needed ANY MORE evidence or proof to believe that then....
If USPS is at the point of conspiring to steal an election by refusing to deliver ballots then a lawsuit is hardly going to stop them.
