Case law tells us what the courts have decided in issues about "right vs. privilege".

So here we have 3 court cases and a quote from one of our basic American law volumes telling us that we have an inalienable right to use the roadways.

and in no way do any of those precedents state that the roads are owned by citizens.
I have an inalienable right to vote, does that mean I own the voting machines?
Giving someone rights is not the same as giving them ownership of whatever it is they have been given the rights to
