You DO Have A Right To Drive A Car

I am as sick of the argument that driving a car isn't a right as I am of the comparisons between how easy it is to get a gun and a car.

Your right to drive a car is covered by the 9th and 10th amendments.

Remember those?  Judging from how often this argument comes up, no you don't.

There's entire rafts of laws which are in violation of the 9th, 10th and 14th Amendments because the laws depend on very tenuous links to powers granted by The Constitution.

Hint: Nearly ALL laws die if held to this standard.

Congress and the courts simply ignore the parts of The Bill of Rights they dislike or prevents them from enforcing their mores on us.

Do you have a right to drive a car?

Yes, because the power to regulate cars was never explicitly delegated to the Federal or State governments in their original Constitutions or amendments thereof.

The paradigm at the time of founding was, "The people can do anything they want, unless specifically proscribed; The government may do nothing unless specifically empowered."

Today the paradigm is, "The people may not do anything, unless specifically granted permission; The government may do anything unless specifically forbidden by the courts."

THAT is what we must fix.
