How can his constitutional rights be violated when he's sitting on a passenger jet that is: (1) owned by someone else, and (2) operated under terms and conditions that are spelled out very clearly on his ticket.

As someone else pointed out ... Why did three of the four people who were bumped from the flight get off without a problem?

They didn’t. The third was his wife.
There is nothing to suggest that he yelled or berated them. He and his wife offered to volunteer at first but then were told that the next flight wasn’t until 4:30p on the next day. That is when he said he couldn’t because he had patients the next morning.
