“The standard for such an appointment should be high, and the burden is on the moninee,” the board’s resolution stated. “That burden is not met as long as there are unresolved questions regarding the credible allegations of sexual assault.”
“The organization’s national board of directors passed a resolution opposing Kavanaugh, citing “credible allegations” that the nominee “engaged in serious misconduct” against Christine Blasey Ford and others.”
And now we know positively that the ACLU does not support the Constitution of the United States NOR the protections afforded therein.
Amendment V
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 process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

Sen. Bob Casey (D., Pa.) announced he would oppose anyone Trump nominated, no matter who it was, while Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) declared on MSNBC last month we are looking at the "destruction of the Constitution of the United States" if Trump got his pick.
Sen. Mazie Hirono (D., Hawaii), in a misguided application of the so-called "McConnell Rule," flatly said on CNN on June 27 she wouldn't consider any nominee of Trump.
"But don't you want to see who the president nominates first before deciding flatly there should be no confirmation vote between now and the midterm elections?" Wolf Blitzer asked.
"No, it doesn't matter who he is putting forward," she said.

Liberals Are Furious Over the Nomination of [Insert Name Here] to Supreme Court
Behold the rallying cry of a new generation of manufactured outrage: "Stop [blank]!"

Prickett, You're a coward. Plain and simple. Just because someone has been to law school or sat for a bar exam in any jurisdiction does not mean that their interpretation of the Constitution or the law is better than anyone else who has not.
And blocking someone after making such comments to include downvoting is cowardly and a sign of a coward.

Additionally, ""The Constitution commits to the Senate the power to make its own rules; and it is not the function of the Court to say that another rule would be better." United States v. Smith, 286 U.S. 6, 48 (1932) (in a confirmation hearing case). "; when put into context is a red herring on your part and on the part of others and the interpretation that is applied.
It goes on to state, “A rule designed to insure due deliberation in the performance of the vital function of advising and consenting to nominations for public office, moreover, should receive from the Court the most sympathetic consideration. But the reasons, above stated, against the Senate’s construction seem to us compelling.” When put into full context and what it actually means is that the Senate has to abide by the rules that they set. What it actually means when put into full contest using the precedent as referenced, is that they can not change the rules in mid stream and then renege (or fail to honor) a decision based on the earlier rules.
As far as you BS about 'due process' goes, I would highly recommend a thorough reading of the following article from Volume 25 Issue 1 Yale Law & Policy Review - https://digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1532&context=ylpr;Civil
Prickett, you do know that some of the rest of us can read and have an understanding of language and law, to include English and Latin (both language and law). Not just you and others of your ilk.
