As the Supreme Court on Oct. 8 discussed a woman’s claim that postal workers conducted a two-year campaign of racial harassment against her, one justice raised concerns about allowing lawsuits like hers to move forward. “What will the consequences be if all these suits are filed and they have to be litigated?” Justice Samuel Alito asked. “Is the cost of a first-class letter going to be $3 now?” The crux of the issue is whether the immunity Congress gave the U.S. Postal Service for mail delivery problems covers mere mistakes or also acts alleged to be intentional.
