The Constitution of the U.S. prohibits lowering the salaries of sitting judges. The Constitution itself does not explain the whys of things, but the obvious reason is to prevent the legislature from punishing an unpopular judge by cutting his pay.

"The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office."
