Sorry, you don't know the legal meaning of a "right".


Baseless Ad Hominem.


"The Idaho Supreme Court, however, has held that the right to operate
a motor vehicle on public highways is a matter of constitutional
dimension. In Adams v. City of Pocatello , 91 Idaho 99, 101, 416 P.2d
46, 48 (1966), the Court declared that the right to drive "is a right
or liberty, the enjoyment of which is protected by the guarantees of
the federal and state constitutions. Consequently, the courts of this
state must regard the right to drive a motor vehicle on public
highways as constitutionally protected." - State of Idaho v. Mark
Wilder (2003) -http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data2/idahostatecases/app/1033/wilder.pdf


You left out the part of the ruling, as you always do, that included
licensing as part of the exercise of the right to travel by auto.


Licensing is not a part of our Right to operate a motor vehicle on
public highways. Licensing is a part of the police power being
unreasonably imposed upon our Right to operate a motor vehicle on
public highways.
