...FDR couldn't do it with three quarter majorities in both branches of Congress and the most political capital since George Washington.

The only answer is to develop large majorities in Congress, a Democratic President and enough political capital to change the laws.

As far as enlarging the court, you certainly will need more than a one vote majority in the Senate and a slim majority in the House. You would need overwhelming support and a national consensus. I just don't see that happening any time soon.
