This is probably a case where one or more of the current members of the liberal bloc defects (probably Breyer, possibly Kagan or Sotomayor, but not both, and certainly not all three members of the bloc), rather than one more members of the conservative bloc going the other way.

I can't see most justices of both parties being fond of Congress or the Executive Branch meddling in the Court's independence (as weak as it is) in any way.

I'd expect a 7-2 decision (Breyer joins the conservative bloc.) striking down court packing.
