Freedom of movement under United States law is governed primarily by the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the United States Constitution which states, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States." As far back as the circuit court ruling in Corfield v. Coryell, 6 Fed. Cas. 546 (1823), the Supreme Court recognized freedom of movement as a fundamental Constitutional right.

 In Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869), the Court defined freedom of movement as "right of free ingress into other States, and egress from them."[1] However, the Supreme Court did not invest the federal government with the authority to protect freedom of movement. Under the "privileges and immunities" clause, this authority was given to the states, a position the Court held consistently through the years in cases such as Ward v. Maryland, 79 U.S. 418 (1871), the Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873) and United States v. Harris, 106 U.S. 629 (1883).[2][3]

A federal court took a critically important step late yesterday towards placing a check on the government's secretive No-Fly List. In a 38-page ruling in Latif v. Holder, the ACLU's challenge to the No-Fly List, U.S. District Court Judge Anna Brown recognized that the Constitution applies when the government bans Americans from the skies.

Bullshit.   When you need to get from one coast to another to a funeral its restriction of travel.  This doesn't even begin to cover life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.   You are a medicated retard.

So revoking someones drivers license is unconstitutional in your feeble mind? How about not allowing someone to drive their car at 100mph?

Someone can get their drivers license revoked for something they said?  Your comparison is not valid.

absolutely

 

 For example, PennDOT can suspend the driver's license of any person, under the age of 21, who was convicted for making a terroristic threat ..

Now, go read the portion of my earlier post where travel restriction is up to the states and NOT the federal govt and ask yourself who controls the terror watch list or no fly list.  

In your example are you suggesting we confiscate their vehicle?

Reality is there is nothing wrong and we should have watch lists.   The problem is when there is no due process of these lists when they start taking away freedom's that American's enjoy.  If Marteen had made threats then he should have been prosecuted.   If found not guilty then so be it at least we put it in the hands of the legal system.   I'm very surprised at Ben's stance on this.   He's often acted like such a proponent of peoples constitutional rights.

I agree.

 

When it became that the gov could put anybody on a no fly list just because they think you are dangerous and you have no re-course ,that was a sad day..but that is because of the Patriot Act...Now called The Freedom Act I guess.

A lower fed court has said the above is unconstitutional ...I guess we have to see what the Supreme Court says if they ever take it up?

Help me out with that if I'm wrong.

No you are correct.   The judge ordered the govt to do a few things regarding recourse for those on the list.   Not sure if they have held up their part of the bargain.   They did let the 10-13 who filed the suit thru the ACLU fly home after additional screening.
