The SCOTUS ruled abortion on demand was a right.

Sorry, that (courts have ruled) argument only goes so far with me.

You have a right to own a gun. Is it absolute? No.

You have to abide by rules to purchase and own one. If you don’t act in accordance with the law, or exhibit questionable actions in public, your right to own one can be taken away.

Essentially, that’s what happens with your license, your ability to drive.

You have a right to obtain one (a license), complying with laws.

You have a right to drive, travel, meet with others in the circumference of an area you can travel in a given time period.

It is not reasoned to deny someone without cause, and limit their ability to meet or associate with others to a much much smaller area.

So I have to hold firm to my claim that driving is a right.

I also make the case that you cannot deny a group the right to drive based on sex, race, or reasoned affiliation. This is undeniably true.

If a state picks you personally out of the blue and says, “You cannot drive from this day forward”, without cause, you could take them to court and win.

It would be an infringement of your reasoned rights.

I’m not focusing this on you. I know a lot of folks share your take on this.

I’m not sure how those cases were approached, but as far as normal travel and association, I believe it’s a right.

If someone got in trouble and tried to claim their ability to drive should not be infringed, I could rule against them.

If it’s a case where someone was denied without cause, I don’t think a state would prevail.

There is a right to travel, operating a motor vehicle has been ruled over and over to be a privilege.
