    She can sue whoever the hell she likes. Why does the Supreme Court have to decide that? Sounds like a waste of their time

      Mostly, except right there in the linked article it mentions:

      A 1946 law generally allows people to sue the federal government for damages if employees cause injury or property loss through their negligence. But the law includes a number of exceptions, including for any claim raising from the “loss, miscarriage, or negligent transmission of letters or postal matter.” The question for the high court, then, is whether the exception applies to Konan’s situation.
