FDR proved that as well. He got a much more restrained court after his expansion bid.

This is not correct. Roberts shifted left before FDR started talking about court-packing.

It was a prolonged back and forth -- criticism of the courts predated the court expansion and court expansion further cowed a court already in retreat. There's no question that FDR changed how the court approached things.
