Supreme Court shields Postal Service from lawsuits over intentionally undelivered mail

The Supreme Court on Monday said the U.S. Postal Service may not be sued for intentionally failing to deliver the mail, ruling against a Black landlord who claims her carriers racially discriminated against her.

The justices ruled 5-4 that an exception for mail issues carved out of the statute allowing certain lawsuits for damages against the government by Congress covers acts alleged to be deliberate.
