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.
