Roosevelt's court-packing plan became unnecessary when the swing voter on the US Supreme Court, Justice Owen Roberts, shifted his (and the Court's) support to favor the New Deal when he voted minimum wage laws were constitutional in West Coast Hotel v. Parrish, (1937). This is often referred to as "the switch in time that saved nine," although historians suggest Owens' may have made his decision prior to the court-packing scandal.
Older members of the Court began dying or retiring in 1937, eventually vacating eight of the nine Supreme Court seats. This allowed President Roosevelt to realize his desire for a liberal court through legitimate appointments.
