Currently, there are nine Supreme Court justices on the United States Supreme Court. The number of justices is set by Congress and has varied from five to 10. There have been nine justices since 1869. In 1937, Franklin Roosevelt attempted to add six more justices to the Supreme Court.

However, Congress did not agree and so the number remains at nine.

Although he presented it as a means to lighten the load on the generally elderly justices, it was widely seen as a transparent attempt to "pack" the court with justices who would support his New Deal programs. Prior to his proposal to add justices to the court, the Supreme Court had struck down several of his programs as unconstitutional, which greatly frustrated FDR. His opponents were quick to seize on his misstep to accuse him of trying to steamroll the court and get around the "checks and balances" provided by the independent Supreme Court.
