The Judiciary Reorganization Bill, or Court-packing Bill, was notable in FDR's New Deal because it sought to expand the Supreme Court from nine to fifteen justices. FDR introduced the bill as a response to the Court invalidating several of his New Deal programs. Critics saw it as an attempt to stack the Court in his favor and undermine its independence, which ultimately led to its defeat in Congress.
