The criticism was that the President tried to influence the Supreme Court's jurisdiction by adding to the number of judges with candidates sympathetic to Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives. Roosevelt's argument was that that the Constitution does not limit the number of Supreme Court judges, so that he was perfectly entitled to propose legislation to add to their number. In the end, Congress put the proposal on the back burner and Roosevelt saw his problem solved by one of the Supreme Court judges moving over to the pro-New Deal side of the Court, thereby giving it a majority.
