Answer: No

A Judiciary free from control by the Executive and the Legislature is essential if there is a right to have claims decided by judges who are free from potential domination by other branches of government.” 29 Thus, once a salary figure has gone into effect, Congress may not reduce it nor rescind any part of an increase
