Better yet suggest that tries to abolish SCOTUS like FDR did. After all they have been reduced to a cabinet level position.
.
Actually FDR did not try to "abolish" the SCOTUS at all. Instead he tried to "pack the court" by adding additional justices.
Scalia and Ginsberg are the 2 oldest justices on the court at the present time by my recollection. Holding onto their positions for another 3 years is certainly feasible but sometimes health issues intervene.
There was no "try". He DID pack the court to get his unconstitutional policies deemed constitutional.
The Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937[1] (frequently called the "court-packing plan")[2] was a legislative initiative proposed by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt to add more justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. Roosevelt's purpose was to obtain favorable rulings regarding New Deal legislation that had been previously ruled unconstitutional.[3] The central and most controversial 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 sitting member over the age of 70 years and 6 months.
In which case can you please provide the names of the additional supreme court justices that he added over and above the original 9 justices?
