A law that bars pay increases for federal judges and justices except as specifically authorized by Congress was not impliedly repealed by a subsequent act amending the method by which automatic annual pay adjustments are to be calculated for judicial branch employees. Repeals by implication are strongly disfavored and may be found only where Congress' intent to repeal is clear and manifest. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-261589/html/GAOREPORTS-B-261589.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-261589/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-261589.pdf GAO/B-261589 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-261589 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-261589; Federal Judges V-Compensation-Implied Repeal of; Title 5 Section 5305 Title 5 Section 5318note 5 U.S.C. 5305 5 U.S.C. 5318note Title 28 Section 461 Title 28 Section 461(a) Title 28 Section 461note 28 U.S.C. 461 28 U.S.C. 461(a) 28 U.S.C. 461note Volume 95 Page 1183 95 Stat. 1183 Volume 103 Page 1716 103 Stat. 1716 Volume 104 Page 1389 104 Stat. 1389 Public Law 97-92 Public Law 101-194 Public Law 101-509
