"Due process" doesn't apply because it's not a court.

This is a fallacy. The Constitution United States does not contain the phrase "these rights only apply to the Judicial Branch". Congress (either as separate bodies or together) cannot compel an individual to testify against themselves absent a grant of immunity. The Administrative Branch similarly cannot compel such testimony absent a grant of immunity or pardon. There are no Rights which are selective depending on which branch of government is exercising its authority with the exception as applied to individuals in prison or the military. And even then the Rights abridged are very specific in their application.

Much more importantly the Senate it selecting for an individual who will uphold the Constitution, so staying within the bounds of the Constitution might be an important consideration for the Senate to take.
