What pay level do you think IS adequate? Are we talking a $20K raise or a $200K raise?

Even a $200k increase would hardly leave a mark on the federal budget, since the judiciary represents such a small share of the cost of other branches of government.

That is exactly the attitude that has gotten this country in the financial bind it is in. Any single expenditure is "only a small share of the cost...".

I think about my personal finances in the same way. I don't eat lunch out everyday, for example, despite the fact that it would only be a "small share" of my income. When you start to add up all the "small share" expenditures, it becomes a big deal.
