The freedom to move about the country actually is a right, IIRC.
Of course, it would require a very big lawsuit, and the highest court in the land, in order to settle exactly what that means, precisely, and define how that affects motor travel, in particular...but one might argue that this IS the travel method of today, and that any restrictions on that might be, in fact, just cause for such a nice legal battle in the highest court. In addition, the highest court is now stacked with conservatives, who, while they may posture, and talk about big government, and wave flags, and shit, are in fact quietly chipping away at the Constitution, and personal rights as if on a mission to destroy all...so how that battle might play out, is anyone's guess.

My point was, however, that in the current environment, operation of a motor vehicle on public highways is not a right.

You may walk, (or ride a horse, I suppose, as long as you're not drunk) across state lines with no restrictions. Making the operation of motor vehicles on public streets, a "right", would be a spectacularly bad idea. People with drivers licenses can barely drive without fucking it up. As a motorcyclist, the last thing I need is a libertarian free for all on the highways. JC
