Actually Poobah, I think that B Man and Co. are on to something here. Through my research, I have discovered that the Law of Gravity was actually never passed by the Congress of the United States or any legislative body. I am therefore going to ignore it.

Be seeing you.

CASE #2: "The right of the citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, either by carriage or by automobile, is not a mere privilege which a city may prohibit or permit at will, but a common law right which he has under the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Thompson v. Smith, 154 SE 579.

CASE #3: "The right to travel is a part of the liberty of which the citizen cannot be deprived without due process of law under the Fifth Amendment." Kent v. Dulles, 357 US 116, 125.
