I don’t know. Have you seen this case?

The Supreme Court’s Imbler opinion is quite broad. It grants prosecutors absolute immunity from § 1983 lawsuits even if they knowingly used perjured testimony at trial, deliberately withheld exculpatory information, or failed to make a full disclosure of all facts casting doubt upon the state’s testimony.

If prosecutors have absolute immunity even if they make up evidence, what’s to stop judges from enjoying the same kind of immunity?
