That's a little broad. Oversight would be sufficient.
- agentdrtran 6y agoIt would very much not be, oversight is a codeword for doing nothing when the oversight is as defunded and weak as ours.
- Supermancho 6y ago"it must be run" is not in the US constitution. That's the point I was disputng. The OPs comment is just as valid, and stronger, without this small hyperbolic statement. Your comment about what oversight means, is separate and also not legal or factual. It's partisan comment that adds nothing.
- ddingus 6y agoRead it again. "Create" does not mean purchase from someone else. It means Congress needs to do it. "Shall" has specific meaning too. "Shall" is not optional. It means "must" and or "will" And that is the basis for my comment.
- ddingus 6y agoThat is not what the text says.
- ddingus 6y agoAnd I strongly disagree. The Post Office is fundemental to our society. It needs to be treated as such. These ongoing games being played by Congress are expensive and should bot be tolerated by Americans who should demand a remedy so the otherwise exemplary service can continue as it has since the beginning. There literally is no benefit to a private service being primary. State laws, etc... Federal govt is entirely appropriate here.
