This is not a good argument. You have no legal right to drive an automobile or to fly a plane, both are heavily regulated. The "if you have a job that requires X" argument is fundamentally weak, there is no intrinsically superior right to any activity due to it being job related or not (this is a good thing, I believe).

The problem of course is the extent of intrusion on daily lives.

The better legal approach is the 10th amendment route, or coming up with new legislation.




"You have no legal right to drive an automobile "

Actually, under Common Law you have a legal right to _travel_ (I'm not saying driving) in a car if you're a Sovereign.
