The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a 5-4 decision prohibiting Americans from suing the Postal Service in federal court for damages when carriers intentionally destroy or refuse to deliver mail. The ruling, written by Justice Clarence Thomas in the case USPS v. Konan, interprets the Federal Tort Claims Act to cover such intentional acts under terms like 'loss' and 'miscarriage.' This comes amid concerns over mail voting integrity ahead of the 2026 midterms.
