does Judge Merchan have anyone he answers to...another higher court perhaps? ... a supervisor....anyone?
God eventually, and boy, he's NOT going to like it what with the way God HATES the perversion of justice.

Judge Merchan sits at a trial court, the lowest step on the judicial ladder of New York. That would be the New York State Supreme Court for the County of New York, located in New York County, better known as the borough of Manhattan.
Try not to dwell on the name. It's a trial court, and above trial courts are appellate courts.
Next up the chain, he answers to the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Judicial Department, with jurisdiction over New York and Bronx counties.
Over that is the New York State Court of Appeals, located in the state capital of Albany, upstate. That is the highest court in the state. Like the U.S. Supreme Court, it chooses what cases it desires to hear.
