LOL, #1 that is not a "fact", it is your opinion, #2 how many times do I have to tell you, you are wrong to not dodge it.
I never said it was, I was paraphrasing the words, with normally free "ordinarily of free" is the same damn thing.
Q62. "I have a friend that told me that I have a consbreastutional right to travel in this country. He stated that to tax that right with driver's license fees, motor registration, license plate fees and a gas tax is unconsbreastutional and that some people resist this 'violation' in various degrees by challenging then in a court of law and eventually having them overturned. Is there any truth to this and what do you base your arguments on."
A. You don't have an explicitly stated consbreastutional right to travel within the country, but since you are not restricted from interstate travel, the 10th amendment says you have the right anyway. It could be reasonably argued that Article 4, Section 2, Clause 1, presumes the right to travel between states when it says that a citizen of one state shall have all the rights of a citizen of another state.
Driver's license fees, state gas tax, license plate fees, registration fees, and any other auto tax imposed by the state are entirely consbreastutional under the U.S. Consbreastution, which basically says the State can do anything it wants to, as long as the Consbreastution does not expressly forbid it. Unless that state's state consbreastution forbids such a tax, it is legal.
Federal gas taxes are consbreastutional under Article 1, Section 8, which states that the Congress can lay excises, which is what the gas tax is.
So it's no wonder that any case challenging these taxes is thrown out of court.
