It's one among many mistakes that were made. Any document made by fallible people is open to being fallible. That's why they developed the amendment system. Don't agree with slavery? Amend it. Want women to vote? Amend it. Don't want partisan justices?
Political parties are a method of overriding checks and balances. Nowhere is that more evident than in the past 6 years of policy and our current Supreme Court.

So for 6 years the rest of the process hasn't been stupid? By your statement because it culminated in the past 6 years, the previous 226 years were just fine? So the framers should have not made the Constitution as they did since 6 years while Willravel was around it made him vomit because of party swings of legislative and executive banches actually meeting and meeting in such a way that disagreed with Willravel? Maybe for some it was actually not a stalemate and that things got done quickly and efficiently to their statisfaction.
There are ALWAYS coming checks and balances.... so while maybe a party controls the executive and legislative, it won't control it forever. Seems to me then 6 years out of 232 seems to be working for this "social experiment."
So you've stated how to circumvent it, but you didn't address how it's stupid.
