Explanation:
The reason why "an enemy" would be your answer is because the Supreme Court was against what President Roosevelt was doing. They believed that what President Roosevelt was doing was giving the powers that the federal government had and giving them to the state governments. They didn't like this because the wanted to federal government to have more power than the state governments, but President Roosevelt was trying to do otherwise. The federal government said that this was unconstitutional, and that president Roosevelt was being unconstitutional. They criticized President Roosevelt a lot for "not helping the poor" enough. They said that the New Deal was just another way of saying "Share our wealth." They didn't want to share their wealth with others, they wanted to keep the wealth to themselves. Roosevelt wanted to avoid confrontation with the Supreme Court, but he couldn't do that. He just had to stick to his plan on making the country back together again after a huge tragedy that changed the whole nation. This showed that the Supreme Court was against the new deal, and was the enemy.
