As one teacher put it baldly:
“If you are found screwing the judges daughter he can issue an order from the bench ordering you to be castrated.”
If a doctor is found who will do such then you are a eunuch and the legal liability of the judge to criminal prosecution is Zero.

This is factually incorrect. There's something called the 5th Amendment which states that one shall not be held to account for infamous crimes without a indictment or presentment, further it says that they will not "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;"
Then there's something called the 6th Amendment which says that in all criminal prosecution the accused has the right to a jury trial.
Then there's the 8th Amendment which prohibits "cruel and unusual punishments."

Oh, wait, I forgot, things like Constitutions don't constrain governments but are instead interments to bludgeon people with... carry on.

Actually, it is factually correct.

While I agree with your cites, that does not mean that the jurists do not have unqualified immunity.
They do - and that is, unfortunately, a big reason that they act as they do.

What I think should be done would probably get me banned here.
