If he is able to pull it off then other future presidents may also adopt the habit of trying the same trick if they don't like the way the SC decides on issues which would essentially defang one branch of the government and make it subservient to another branch.

Either that or an amendment is written that sets the number in stone.

Like OTL's 22nd reacting against FDR's multiple terms, you could have a 23rd at the same time about the Court. I suspect that's likely.
