    No. It’s in our Constitution. It can’t be whisked away unless it is approved through Congress.

      It can be systematically deconstructed and defunded until it no longer works and is non-functional and frustrating to use and then that used as an excuse to eliminate it.

      I think the states would have to agree to it first, wouldn’t they? Congress can’t unilaterally modify the Constitution (thank Christ).

        I think there needs to be a senate & congress vote AND a majority of states need to ratify the amendment after which the Supreme court does a review.

        Elon Musk and Donald Trump are so out of touch with the basic American citizen today that I’m sure they think the Postal Service is the organization that puts up road signs and highway barriers or something

          I’m not sure a Supreme Court review is an official part of the process—the SC can review the constitutionality of ordinary laws, but amendments are constitutional by definition.

            Wouldn’t the Supreme Court need to review to make sure 1 new amendment doesn’t include wording that conflicts with other amendments thought? Just asking, not sure about any of these, in fact I cannot even remember any amendment ratified after the Women’s right to vote in the 1920s.

        I feel like plebs who like the idea of privatizing the USPS (for the sake of “saving money” and therefore not having to pay for a service they “don’t need”) are the same folk who by definition of supporting the orange turd also like the idea of raising taxes for themselves and the majority of the US population to then give to the rich (but of course if they’re in the tax bracket where they make so much to get the tax break then fuck them).

        It’s fine if they want to flaunt their brand of crazy but at least make it make sense.

      I’m sorry friend. I urge you to continue to support the USPS and not give the capitalists your money.

      I’m in the opposite situation, FedEx is fucking inept here.

      Damn. UPS doesn’t even bother getting the package to the right street for me.
