In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed a controversial plan to expand the Supreme Court, known as the "court-packing" scheme. This legislation aimed to add up to six additional justices, allowing him to appoint judges who would be more favorable to his New Deal policies. FDR's proposal faced significant backlash, as many viewed it as an attempt to undermine the judiciary's independence. Ultimately, the plan failed to gain sufficient support in Congress, highlighting the tensions between the executive and judicial branches.
