What case established court packing was illegal?
There was no case that established court-packing as illegal. The Senate resolved the controversy itself by referring Roosevelt's court-packing plan to the Senate Judiciary Committee, where it died. The Supreme Court's only involvement was a well-crafted letter written by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, and signed by two other members of the Court (Louis Brandeis and Willis Van Devanter), asserting Roosevelt's stated reason for adding justices to the Court was not supported by the evidence. Hughes stated that the court was not behind in its work, and that the justices had not become less productive with age. This served as a powerful weapon against Roosevelt's scheme.
