The statement is TRUE.
The Ethics Reform Act of 1989, guaranteed automatic cost of living adjusments (known as "COLAs") to protect the salaries of judges against inflation. This also applied to other areas of federal employment. Pay raises, however, could be denied if the President declared national emergency or some serious economic crisis were to generate a collapse.
Despite these promises, Congress refused on several occasions throughout the past decades to raise judges' salaries, even on occasions where other federal employees were benefited by COLAs.
This led to a series of court fights that culminated with the authority given to Congress to take away promised pay raises from judges any time before they'd taken formal effect. What this means is that the Constitution will only protect judges’ pay that has been “due and payable". The review of this ruling was denied by the Supreme Court for several years. However, Congress did end up voting to allow an increment of pay for judges later on (but not in 2007 or 2010, to cite some more examples of recent denials).
Hope this helps!

1- The last two Confederation cities to be taken by the Unionists were Petersburg and Richmond, on April 1865.
Robert Lee didn't want to surrender but after the loss of this two cities the Confederate Army, thinned by desertion and casualties, wasn't able to continue the war.
2- The day after Petersburg fall President Lincoln (who had been visiting Grant) was able to tour the city. He stated to Admiral David Porter: "Thank God I have lived to see this. It seems to me that I have been dreaming a horrid dream for four years, and now the nightmare is gone, I want to see Richmond".
3- Finally on the morning of April 9th Lee and his hungry men found themselves surrounded by five times the number of Union soldiers. Lee had no choice. At a ceremony at Appomattox Court House he surrendered the army of Northern Virginia, thus effectively bringing to an end the most horrible war in American history.
4- After visiting Petersburg, Lincoln was taken to Richmond by Admiral Porter. Once he reached the city it was thronged by Blacks. One old lady is said to have shouted: "I know I am alive for I have seen Father Abraham and felt him."
5- President Abraham Lincoln was a man whose principles were inspiring for the Union's cause. He had the good fortune of seeing the end of the Civil War, as he told Admiral Porter, but he was unjustly murdered a few days later by a follower of the Southern cause. He must be remembered as a great patriot and one of the best presidents in American history.
