The word "property" is in the Constitution and it refers to the property of the United States.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause...

For any Senator to say that they will act to block the President's power and CONSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY to appoint a new Justice no matter who it is ... borders on treason.
How hyperbolic.
President Reagan is still our president. But he should not be able to reach out from the muck of Irangate, reach into the muck of Watergate and impose his reactionary vision of the Constitution on the Supreme Court and the next generation of Americans. No justice would be better than this injustice.
Guess who said that? He was a darling of the Dems. A lion, some said.

I've seen many posts across social media by liberals talking about civil war if Obama nominees are not confirmed.
Fantasies about the "Marines killing hillbillies", and the national guard arresting all republicans.

Perhaps you would highlight "property" in that ... which is a prohibition on illegal search.
(Besides, Neo beat you to the punch. The Fourteenth Amendment does refer to "property." I've ceded the point because I was not precise in my original statement. Nice try though.)

but they don't even know who that candidate is yet, and they are denying!!!
. . .that's the problem. how do they know if the candidate can do the job adequately or not if they have no idea who it is. what they did was express their intention of leaving that post empty, it doesn't matter who obama offers as a candidate.... hey, I got an idea, let's decrease the number of justices down to five, fire a few of them, that will eliminate the chance of there being a tie and also save us some money! and we can eliminate them so that we have the same balance as we did before...which means kennedy can't go. there's solves the problem, now there isn't any position to fight over...
my, god, kids!!!
