Earlier quoted context omitted.

yes but you could say that of cars too (and courts have ruled mandatory DUI tests legal)

Just because courts have ruled something legal doesn't make it Constitutional. See: 100 mile border zones that are "exempt" from the 4th Amendment. Not to mention, just because something is legal doesn't make it right.

what SCOTUS says defines what is constitutional. you may disagree with their ruling but they are the meaningful authority.

But it could be a reference to freedom. :)

I'm not sure what you are saying here.

Since price is a property of the concept of freedom, the price property cannot have a value which itself is the concept of freedom. The compiler will bail because the inner concept of freedom would have an incomplete type.

The way around this is to define the price property as a reference to the concept of freedom. That way you hold a memory addy to the concept of freedom within the struct and can compile and run your program with impunity.
