最高法院以1946年法律为由,对USPS故意邮件失灵提起的诉讼予以驳回。 Supreme Court blocks lawsuit against USPS for intentional mail failure, citing 1946 law.

美国最高法院第5-4号裁决,美国邮政局不能因故意不递送邮件而被起诉,即使在被指控的不当行为或歧视案件中也是如此。 美国最高法院援引1946年的一项法律,广泛保护邮政局,使其不因邮件丢失或流产而被起诉。 The United States Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the US Postal Service cannot be sued for intentionally failing to deliver mail, even in cases of alleged misconduct or discrimination, citing a 1946 law that broadly protects the agency from lawsuits over mail loss or miscarriage. 由Clarence Thomas法官撰写的裁决认为,法律适用于故意行为,防止Lebene Konan的诉讼。 Lebene Konan是德克萨斯黑人房地产经纪人,他声称邮政工人扣留了她的邮件长达两年,造成了财务和情感上的痛苦。 The decision, written by Justice Clarence Thomas, holds that the law applies to intentional acts, preventing a lawsuit by Lebene Konan, a Black Texas real estate agent who claimed postal workers withheld her mail for two years, causing financial and emotional distress. 由Sonia Sotomayor法官领导的异议者认为,法律不应当保护恶意行为。 The dissent, led by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, argued that the law should not protect malicious acts. 受到蓄意邮政失灵伤害的个人根据这项裁决可诉诸的法律手段有限。 Individuals harmed by deliberate postal failures will have limited legal recourse under the ruling.
