Some dumb lawsuits go all the way to the highest court in the land. 

Lebene Konan says United States Postal Service (USPS) employees intentionally refused to deliver mail to two rental properties that she owned because of a “single factor: They do not like the idea that a black person owns the Residences, and leases rooms in the Residences to white people.”

The Supreme Court isn’t evaluating Konan’s claims of racism. They’re evaluating whether Konan is legally entitled to bring a lawsuit against USPS in the first place. (RELATED: SCOTUS Appears Skeptical Of Colorado Law Forcing Counselors To Agree With Kids’ Gender Confusion)

The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) recognizes the government’s liability for the “negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of its employees acting within the scope of their official duties.” 

When is lost mail a federal tort and when is it just… lost?

USPS v. Konan asks #SCOTUS to decide how far sovereign immunity shields the Postal Service for mishandled or intentionally undelivered mail.

There are exceptions to that liability. 

You can’t sue the federal government based on “any claim arising out of the loss, miscarriage, or negligent transmission of letters or postal matter.”
