Judges who violate the rules can be sanctioned or removed from office. (Other penalties may be available in some states.) If their misconduct also violates criminal laws, they can be prosecuted. The immunity you describe applies only to civil lawsuits. That means they don't answer to lawyers or litigants. but it does not mean they answer to no one as you claim.
