The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I’m just trying to figure out: does the US mail service even have the right to decide which mail to deliver and which not to?

Using the US Mail to perpetrate a fraud is a Federal crime. God on Earth Trump says mail in ballots are inherently fraudulent. The Post Office has it's own police force, the Postal Inspectors, to investigate and prosecute misuse of the mail. There have been certain items that have been banned from the mail. Recall, a year or two ago, there was a push to make it illegal to ship RU486 pills through the mail. So, yes, it probably would be possible to require the Post Office to refuse to handle ballots. Such a law or authoritarian decree would be challenged in court, but his nibs is expert at keeping things tied up in litigation, for years.
