Can't be done. FDR added justices to get the New Deal through the Court. Congress was quick to close the loophole afterwards. The number of justices is set by law now.

I don't there is a requirement for us to have 9 justices?
Personally I want it to stay at 8.

No offense, but this is basically all wrong. The size of the court has always been set by Congress. FDR wanted to add members to the court in the wake of new deal programs being declared unconstitutional. His plan did not make it out of congress and into law. Congress still has the ability to change the size of the Court.
