Having said that, the success rate for sueing judges for a decision they made on the bench is zero.

Although, I suppose their guilty pleas to bribery will help.

Normally you can't even sue a judge for anything he does under the judicial position even in proven cases of gross negligence and abuse of power. The Supreme Court over the years has always pushed towards this absolute immunity despite any laws Congress has passed (they simply re-interpreted the laws restricting immunity to mean the restriction doesn't apply to judges).

But this is so egregious they might allow it.
