-- Couldn't there be some type of charges against Sullivan and his actions? --

No. Judges have near perfect absolute immunity for judicial acts, even if undertaken with literal malice. This is an immunity that the judges have given themselves as a class.

Congress could temper this immunity, and exposes judges to criminal and civil charges. One thing that keeps this from happening is courts policing their own, but when the courts fail to do that, action must be taken to correct the problem.
