Yeah. The framers of the Constitution really didn’t have any experience in how political parties outside of the loyalist/patriot movements of the legislatures they came from. Even outside the US, there wasn’t that much experience in how democratic governments generally create political parties; even the UK was in the throws of a century old Whig oligarchy.
A lot of the checks and balances written into the Constitution relied on each politician having a major degree of independence from each other. That political parties formed and that the system only had two big tent parties broke a lot of Congressional power.
It amazes me that the US has no way to remove corrupt judges from the bench. Seems like a huge oversight in the US constitution.
Impeachment is the way but that requires a bipartisan or super majority decision in congress.

Um, it’s the second thing in there.
