Danny_Ocean, guess what your prayers were answered with the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970.
The PRA stripped the USPS of cabinet status, and made it an "independent establishment in the executive branch". "In 1988, the Supreme Court recognized that Congress also invested this hybrid entity with the "status of a private commercial enterprise".
The Supreme Court further stated that Congress "by launching the Postal Service into the commercial world, and including the sue-and-be-sued clause into it's charter, Congress as cast off the Service's "cloak of sovereignty", and given it the "status of a private commercial enterprise."
So unfortunately, the Postal Service has been a "private commercial enterprise" since 1970, with the exception that it cannot make a profit.
So where does that leave us now?
