In a frantic last-minute attempt to derail a trial that threatens to destroy Donald Trump’s corporate empire, the former president’s lawyers have turned the heat on the judge overseeing this case—by suing him directly.
Edit: Unfortunately the tactic worked:
An appellate judge has taken the remarkable step of hitting pause on the New York Attorney General’s upcoming bank fraud trial against Donald Trump—granting the former president’s request in a surprise hearing on Thursday that was closed off to the public.

But at best its an uphill battle. Judges get immunity from suits just like cops. Otherwise the courts would be bogged down with lawsuits from every case where one side disagrees with a ruling.
Of course. It’s not a suit in good faith, it’s just another delay tactic.
