How did Franklin Delano Roosevelt attempt to prevent the sepreme court from undoing the new deal?

FDR proposed a plan to add justices whenever a Supreme Court Justice turned 70 years of age and increase the size of the Court to 15. This would give the President the power to "pack the court" with justices who would support the New Deal. Reaction in both Congress and the nation at large was hostile. FDR's plan was considered to be tampering with the Constitution and the separation of powers. FDR backed down and the Supreme Court actually approved several key New Deal enactments. Since many on the Court were old, FDR ended up appointing eight new Justices before he died.

How does the U.S Sepreme court select its cases?
The U.S Supreme Court selects its cases through a process called "certiorari." This means that it grants review to cases that have been appealed from lower courts and meet certain criteria. The Court typically selects cases that involve significant constitutional questions or where there is a conflict between lower court decisions on an issue of federal law. The justices then vote on which cases to take up and a majority vote is required for a case to be granted review.
