Every one of these judges need cameras in their courts so there can be grounds for disbarment against all of them.
Their prejudicial and outlandishly inappropriate conduct has been on full display inside the court, but nobody outside of the courtroom can see how these judges are acting. It may fly in movies, but not real life.
If America could see the way these judges have been acting I guarantee it would anger any decent person.
Judges aren't supposed to make wise-cracks at the defendant's expense. They aren't supposed to scream at defense attorneys. They aren't supposed to show any indication that they are prejudiced against either side. They should be sued for judicial misconduct at the very least.
Judge Engoron, Judge Merchan, and now Judge Chutkan have all conducted themselves in an obviously prejudicial manner against Trump, in court.

A Judge Should Avoid Impropriety and the Appearance of Impropriety in all Activities
(A) Respect for Law. A judge should respect and comply with the law and should act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.
(B) Outside Influence. A judge should not allow family, social, political, financial, or other relationships to influence judicial conduct or judgment. A judge should neither lend the prestige of the judicial office to advance the private interests of the judge or others nor convey or permit others to convey the impression that they are in a special position to influence the judge. A judge should not testify voluntarily as a character witness.
(C) Nondiscriminatory Membership. A judge should not hold membership in any organization that practices invidious discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, or national origin.
