Yes regarding limitation on gov....no regarding right to travel on an airplane or any other service that requires someone else to provide their labor/private property
Do you have a right to walk down the road/on a publc way? Of course
Do you have a right to fly on someone elses plane? Of course not
Same argument applies to Healthcare and a raft of other stuff.....if it requires someone else to provide their labor and private property for you to do it.......then its not a right
But unless you own your own plane you have no right per se to travel by air as it requires others to provide some service/private property to make it happen.
Gov needs to stop being an impediment to commerce and get back to eliminating barriers to commerce as per the original intent of "commerce clause"

Right. Just as the right to bear arms doesn't give you the right to have someone buy you a gun.
Similarly, the right to fly means that the government shouldn't get in the way of individuals seeking to purchase air travel from one state to another state.

In other words, your right keeps the government from preventing you from doing something. It doesn't give you the ability to force someone to do something. Same as any other right.

The Fed does have the power to govern interstate commerce, which is in the constitution. I think that if a person from New England who bought a ticket from an airline based in say Florida for a flight from Logan to Hawaii, the transaction would consist of interstate commerce.
Now flying from Boston to Nantucket?
No, jpk is saying you have the right to own weapons but you can't force someone to sell them to you if they don't want to.So unless you own an iron mine to mine the ore to build a gun, you don't have the right to weapons? Your argument is pretty flawed.

But it being a right does not mean the fed has to pay for it, just that they cant interfere with my attempt to access it.Yes regarding limitation on gov....no regarding right to travel on an airplane or any other service that requires someone else to provide their labor/private property

He was an adjunct professor which means he taught a class once. But you know he knows nothing about the Constitution so the students got robbed..And POTUS was a Constitutional Professor. He learned every way to violate it.
If people have the right to move between states without restrictions, why are there speed limits? Why do the state police of a state sit on the side of highways? Why do 49/50 states mandate seat belts?
I agree with your principle, but it's too much theory and not looking at the real world and how it really operates. If you truly think that traveling requires the absolute right to not be regulated, I urge you to file suit and see where it goes.
Those are all restrictions within the boundaries of individual states. In fact, not one of your examples draws a parallel to the free flow of commerce between states because none of them restrict travel between states, just what could be termed reasonable limits on travel inside of said states.
The state police example is markedly weak as it specifically demarks the limits of one state's power with respect to another. A better example would be if Fed agents were not allowed to impede travel between states. This is where the negative right slams into the reality of federal interpretation.
You would think one of the most basics of all human "rights" is the right to self defense.
That's what English common law held.You would think one of the most basics of all human "rights" is the right to self defense.
probably the same guy that did the birth certificate
You are making it seem like the govt. has the right to tell you and a private person or corporation (The airline) that you can't make a deal for a legal service.
Bingo
