It is mentioned explicitly in the Fifth Amendment of the Bill of Rights:
"nor shall any person...be deprived of life liberty or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation."

Nothing murky about that as far as I can see.

And of course the Fourth Amendmnt specifies the "right to be secure in persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable search and seizure without probable cause."

Hard to pretend that that isn't clear, although words like "unreasonable" and "probable" keep some of the excess lawyers employed.

4th and 5th Amendments might seem clear enough, but they are being violated every day. It would appear the entire Bill of Rights is in big trouble.
