Here you go:
AMENDMENT V (1791)
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or
otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or
indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in
the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in
actual service in time of war or public danger; nor
shall any person be subject for the same offense to be
twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be
compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against
himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property,
without due to be taken for public use, without just
compensation.
He is correct the Constitution says nothing about you
having the right to not have the government take your
property. I checked twice.
Remember: Freedom isn't Free!
