FDR proposed it.
Everyone (seemingly) roared disapproval.
FDR dropped it.
The court stopped opposing all the New Deal legislation.
I think, and the world may agree with me, that FDR got what he wanted.

During one of his many terms FDR was accused of trying to pack the
Court.
He responded that he was trying to unpack it. I don't remember the
details
since I learned that in a U.S. history course I took during my junior
year
which was about 55 years ago.

Ha! That was the essence of one of the 538 panel member's phrasing
suggestion for Kamala Harris in response to Pence's question about
packing
SCOTUS. The elaborated version was: "Because confirming Barrett, NOW,
is
such a horribly wrong thing to do, we have no choice BUT to pack the
court." ... I.e. now look what you made me do. That was my dad's
favorite
phrase to justify whatever abuse he chose to mete out that day. He
once ran
over my bicycle with his truck. I *made* him run over my bike because
I
left it laying in the driveway. It's a running joke with my fellow
drinkers
who *regularly* FORCE me to drink more than I should. There is no
free
will. I live to serve.
