Can US Supreme Court justices' pay be reduced?
No. Article III, Section 1, says they shall "receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office":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.AnswerThe Constitution says Congress cannot lower the pay of the Supreme Court justices; however, the Justices' pay was sometimes reduced in the early 19th century, although the circumstances surrounding the adjustment and how Constitutional issues were resolved is left in question.
How can a state court avoid review of a case by the US Supreme Court?
The only state courts eligible to have cases reviewed by the US Supreme Court are the state supreme courts or court of appeals immediately under the state supreme court (if that court declines review), because a case must exhaust all appellate options before any party can petition the US Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. State supreme courts can avoid having their cases reviewed by never accepting a case that involves questions of federal or constitutional law. Barring that, they could pay careful attention to case law and not make a ruling in conflict with an established precedent. Barring that, they can only hope whoever loses the state supreme court appeal doesn't petition the US Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari or, if they do, hope that the case isn't sufficiently compelling that it attracts four of the Justices' interest.
