Postal Service v. Konan · ¶86

In addition, there are ordinary litigation tools to prevent any threat of abuses, from Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to the plausibility standards in Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U. S. 544 (2007), and Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U. S. 662 (2009).These tools suffice in many other cir- cumstances where the threats of disruption posed by large volumes of litigation are also high.Other exceptions, like the intentional-tort exception, §2680(h), and the due-care ex- ception, §2680(a), turn on Government officials’ mens rea, and courts are well equipped to assess the plausibility of any given case based on the facts before them.
