One observer said \”it looked like a sea of blue suits\” others were looking for political donations.
Concerns of costly litigation were wildly UNDERESTIMATED and a feeding frenzy of gluttonous litigation has ensued.
The federal lawsuit wait just octupled for all federal litigants.
Gawd I love that guy Thomas.
Now we have to \”***** slap\” Congress to include slip & fall claims-retroactively.
Oh ya funny how the courts have no trouble dumping liability on private and public businesses for lazy parasites who\’d rather not work than on folks who don\’t look where they\’re walking.
Without all of the details it is difficult for me to honestly give an opinion on this subject….however if the mail was left there by the postal service because they did not want to put it in the mailbox, that would be a different story. Let\’s say that IS what happened, well it amazes me that our government makes their own rules. This country while I love it is in a shambles, the rich get richer and who cares about anything or anyone else. Let\’s fix the problems instead of creating more.
Read the opinion before making judgments. The Justices did the right thing. Thomas\’s quote was out of context, or he didn\’t know what he was talking about. Bad reporting is to blame here; they had it all wrong.
\”Blair\” is right. This is just a case of abysmal reporting. The postal service tried to use an immunity statute that simply did not apply to the situation. The court pointed out the obvious. The statute did not apply to the situation. The article looks like it was written by someone who didn\’t actually read the opinion.
Litigation has become sort of a national sport. Too bad the the U.S. Postal Service – which does a pretty good job overall – will now be deluged with tons of new lawsuits. But the flipside is that htey must be accountable for ensuring that their employees act reasonably.
This is a waste of the courts time and our
tax payer money. There are more serious
issues to be discussed by the courts. Like
private property being taken for economic
gain with out properly compensating the
individual.
What ever happened to TAKING RESPONSIBILTY
FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS(TRFYOA). Why is it
always someone elses fault. LOOK WHERE YOU
ARE WALKING.
We are the only civilized country in the world that does not have the looser pay rule. Welcome to America where we have
legalized extortion. You do not have to
give a rats *** what you do. We will
get you money you have rights. That is why we pay high taxes, high insurance rates and high cost of goods. Doctors are suppose to be gods and do not forget all the COMMON SENSE warning labels.
We are more concerned in this country about a persons right to sue then we are our borders. Wait till the next attack. How
many have to die before we change our priorities in this country. We are so
worried about law enforcement gathering
info on terrorists and how they do it. It
is none of the damn publics business.

Finally, a voice of reason. Thanks for the REAL explanation. It makes sense now.
