The US Constitution reserves to the federal government the right to establish post offices and post roads.

This little deal is in the original text ~ not any amendment!

Might try reading the Constitution someday.

I just went and read it. While the Constitution gives Congress the power (not the same thing as a right) to establish a post office. It is moot on exclusivity.

It's a RIGHT, not a MANDATE. The Constitution does not require a Post Office. Privatizing the USPS would be completely Constitutional.

Gee, I thought we were talking about the US Postal Service.

I didn't see that in that "little deal."

You obviously know alot about the USPS. Do you really think the framers had that bloated behemoth in mind when they wrote that little deal?
