The passage says the statute channels 'many claims' to PRC initial review and then D.C. Circuit review, and the sources confirm that mechanism for certain complaints under 39 U.S.C. §§3662-3663.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… bureaucrats to make rules, which I'm okay with that, by the way, it does, it does make it so, so I'm okay with it too, but understand that it makes it really, really hard to make rules, which, again, I'm okay with, but that's the trade off there. So it says it also channeled many claims against the Postal Service to initial review before the Postal Regulatory Commission, followed by review by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. So this is what we read about Ash in Overruled, how they're like, oh yeah, they have these administrative courts now. …

Contradicts. The sources describe the channeling as applying to 'certain' complaints under specified provisions (§3662(a) lists sections 101(d), 401(2), 403(c), 404a, 601), not to all statutory claims, so the claim's universal 'Statutory claims... must' overstates the record.[1][2][6]
Supports. 39 U.S.C. §§3662-3663 provide PRC complaint review followed by D.C. Circuit review of final Commission orders, and the D.C. Circuit's 2026 decision describes Congress channeling certain complaints about Postal Service policies this way.[3][4][5][6][7]
Context. The Supreme Court's 2026 stay-stage filing describes the same channeling as covering 'many claims', matching the post's own wording, which the extraction generalized.[2]
