One of the very few flaws in our Constitution is that it does require the Federal Government to maintain a postal service.
This raises the specter of a taxpayer bailout, ordered by Federal judges.
And the Black Caucus thinks THEY’RE going to have a mob out in the streets...
Flush ‘Em!
One could argue that the constitutional requirement is not as great as that:
“To establish Post Offices and post Roads;” need not mean all that it seems to entail today. Perhaps we could pare down on the carrier routes. Want daily delivery, pay for a po box at the Post Office and go get it on your own.
Daily delivery, or a delivery person for every possible route are not mentioned, for instance.
We do need mail service for international relations as well, but again, not necessarily what we currently have.
The Constitution requires a postal service??? What article?
