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.
