Very early America (and UK) had a solution that worked pretty well. If Judge fucked about, you could sue them and make them liable for their fuckery. SCOTUS forbids this now because it would embarass the profession of Judges and trust in the Court.
Wealthier people would sue judges for the slightest reasons. And retards would also sue them, and more often than this site gets sued. A judge wouldn't be able to handle all the lawsuits coming their way.
I've thought this before about "judge fatigue" in general, and efforts to reform, like proposed legislation to make judges liable for releasing murderers who reoffend.
True, if Judges weren't immune for decisions from the bench, everyone they ever rule against would sue them to the point they wouldn't have any time to work on actual judgements, and the judges in each of those cases would also immediately get sued by the same plaintiff or the last judge for ruling against him and so on and so forth forever.
Before in this thread, it's been asked "Can't these judges be held accountable?" and in response, a case was mentioned in which a judge jumped down and bit someone on the nose, and was still found to be immune for actions from the bench. But I understand why: if he hadn't been found immune, that would become caselaw, and every judge in the country would suddenly get sued with arguments of "As is established caselaw, judges can be found liable for biting people on the nose, and this judge, by ruling against my client on his patent lawsuit, inflicted far more financial and emotional damage than simply biting him on the nose..." and when some judge humored that, it would become controlling caselaw that judges can be sued for ruling against you in a patent case which would become caselaw for finding judges liable in a divorce and so on until we arrive at the scenario above.
The problem is, if the worst judges did with their immunity was bite someone on the nose, and that was an exceedingly rare occurrence, then on the whole the system could continue, what can't continue is every district judge trying to outrank the President and entire legislative branch while letting every rapist and murderer go free
