Byrnes] The right to freedom of association is a given. However, that doesn't mean you have a right to the means of travel. We can debate whether you have a right to drive on public roads, and I happen to think the current regime has gone too far in its treatment of that as a privilege. It's pretty settled law that you don't have a right to drive your own car on the highway, so it's even more settled that you don't have a right to fly on an airplane owned by someone else.
