If a judge is called ‘corrupt’ by a defendant outside court in front of the media, or if something more unambiguously libelous is said, can the judge sue the defendant?

    Not beating someone almost to death for calling a judge corrupt is not an indication of a corrupt system. It is obvious that you have very different ideals than citizens of the United States, but I will tell you that almost no one here would consider your recommendation as a good option, especially since it could be used to silence dissent or even valid criticism. Trump is a fool for making the accusations, and it will almost certainly influence the judge, but that type of behavior does not warrant beating someone to death’s door in our society.
