“Driving is not a Constitutional Right.”

It should be, because to tell someone they can’t drive is to deprive them of their freedom of movement in a real and significant way. In most of the country, it limits their employment opportunities.

The greentards have been trying to “get Americans out of their cars” since the sixties, and I’d like to see a constitutional right to drive enumerated in the constitution. If for no better reason, just to give the greentards a good, painful poke in the eye.

There is no freedom of movement enumerated in the Constitution.

You are correct. If the Supreme Court interpreted the 9th Amendment properly, it would be a fundamental, Constitutional, right.

Another one would be freedom of association.

You should never be forced to associate with people you do not wish to associate with.

Freedom to move can be limit ted by denying a driving permit, but people are not restricted from travel. Just the means of travel.

Not allowing a person the right to bear arms is denying them the right to self protection.
