Claim: The Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937 was a legislative initiative proposed by U.S.  President Franklin D. Roosevelt to add more justices to the U.S.  Supreme Court, which started in 1934's "Home Building & Loan Association v. Blaisdell" case.
Evidence: However, early wins for New Deal supporters came in Home Building & Loan Association v. Blaisdell and Nebbia v. New York at the start of 1934. Roosevelt was wary of the Supreme Court early in his first term, and his administration was slow to bring constitutional challenges of New Deal legislation before the court. The central provision of the bill would have granted the president power to appoint an additional justice to the U.S. Supreme Court, up to a maximum of six, for every member of the court over the age of 70 years and 6 months. In the Judiciary Act of 1869, Congress had established that the Supreme Court would consist of the chief justice and eight associate justices. During Roosevelt's first term, the Supreme Court struck down several New Deal measures as being unconstitutional.
