Congress has set the supreme court size (number of justices) ever since our republic was founded.
it has been 6,7,9,10,7, and then 9 again.
It has been 9 since 1869.
FDR tried to pack the court up to 15, but Congress didn’t approve

True, but SCOTUS got the message and stopped declaring the New Deal as un-Constitutional.
