Of course not. Due process is how the system works. But the system requires impartial juries, you know that. the entire task of selecting a jury is to find unbiased, impartial jurors to weigh the evidence. Judges are assigned their seats because they are supposed to have the same value system.
But again, specifically, we are talking about an SC appointment here, not a criminal court case. while the same standards should be maintained, the fact that this is one of the most powerful positions in America, and a life long appointment, it's extremely important to properly vet kavanaugh. it's simply too powerful a position to handle willy nilly.
