You wait for the Court to be so obnoxious, intransigent, and counter to the people’s values that a reasonable restriction on the Court becomes a widely accepted idea. Granted, you can’t just change the Court based on one or two terrible decisions, and you can’t do it on a whim either. But think about this: the largest landslide in American presidential history was in 1936. If we had another landslide like that, the Democrats took the House and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, and the Court immediately blocked the agenda of the next president, there would be some space to change the Court.
