I found this paragraph and the following descriptions rather interesting: > The existence of historical precedents for court-packing beyond FDR further bolsters the argument for it. In a 1968 article for the Baylor Law Review, political scientist JR Saylor detailed “seven occasions Congress has enlarged or diminished the size of the Supreme Court by one or two judges.” Each of these seven times, the changes were made either to “purge the Court of … justices making decisions objectionable to an incumbent of the White House or to a dominant party majority in Congress” or to “‘pack’ the Court in order that the policies of the government in power would be upheld as constitutional.” fwiw - I'm not sure I agree with the concept of court packing, but reading about it, the reasons and mechanics are interesting especially in light of the Merrick Garland, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh nominations.
