First, let my thank you for your civil debate. Although, I still disagree with your interpretation.
If "ordinarily" were meant to mean "as a general rule", it's placement would have been:
"and the right of free transit from or through the territory of any state is a right secured, ORDINARILY, by the 14th Amendment"
instead of:
"and the right, ORDINARILY, of free transit from or through the territory of any state is a right secured by the 14th Amendment"
This quote is identifying WHAT is a Right, not WHEN that Right is to be secured. Once a Right is identified, it's not secured when "as a general rule", but instead it is secured always. The word "ordinarily" applies to and qualifies "transit".
The words "used for" were not added, but extracted from meaning.
"and the right, ordinarily, of free transit" MEANING "and the right of free transit ordinarily used for Personal Travel"
I think the US Supreme Court understood what they wrote it to mean "by ordinary means".
Well, now you're buttuming we have an honorable collection of representatives in government!
Going beyond the interpretation of this quote, let's explore the justice.
Our Public Right of Ways are intended to promote the general welfare of and enhance our Right of Liberty and Travel. If Motor Vehicles were not a part of our Right of Travel, how then does adapting our Public Highways for use primarily, and ordinarily, by Motor Vehicles enhance this Right? It does not! In fact, under this harness of licensing, the more our Public Highways are made unuseable by anything but the Motor Vehicle, the more this implement of Liberty becomes an implement of imprisonment, with bars of blacktop.
It can not be denied that we have the Right to Travel at our own inclination on Public Highways. Yet, on many Public Highways, every form of Locomotion, other than the Motor Vehicle, is prohibited. How then does one freely exercise their Right to Travel on such highways if the use of Motor Vehicles is licensed?

Some might suggest one take a taxi, a bus, or some other form of Transport. But, although we do have a Right to TRAVEL at our own inclination on Public Highways, we DO NOT have the Right to be TRANSPORTED, which requires the inclination of another. Being Transported is not Travel at one's own inclination, and we have no Right to be Transported. How can something we have no Right to be used to secure something we do have a Right to?
We have a Right to Travel at our own inclination on our Public Highways. In doing so, we must employ the use of one Locomotion or another. To secure and enhance this Travel, the Locomotion ordinarily used must not be obstructed by extraordinary locomotions. Where they do obstruct, they can be, and are, prohibited. But, we still have a Right to Travel at our own inclination on those Public Highways. How else are we to ordinarily exercise that Right except by the locomotion ordinarly used?
