You set up a system that is supposed to ensure justice and fairness, and someone will figure out how to game the system. That's now happened with the Supreme Court.
The best you can do is find ways to reform the court. I was against packing the court, but now I realize they should have. Sure, the other side can re-pack or unpack at some future date, with such a small court it only takes a couple of corrupt people to completely tilt the balance. The credibility of the court is already broken. Packing won't break it more.
To find a detente in the packing-wars, some sort of court reform could be worked out.
