TBF they are almost all vocal adherents of a faith where at least two people came back from the dead; perhaps they'll be accusing Chavez of calling fish and loaves into existence from nothing soon.

I think you'll find it was Trump did that
The individual lawyers involved in the Trump campaign are facing multiple complaints that could see them disbarred.

Trump can tell ceaseless outrageous lies and apparently face no consequences over doing so but it's his superpower everyone else has to pay the piper sooner or later. It continues to amaze me how many people are prepared to ruin their careers and even their own lives in service to a petty demagogue who wouldn't do the same and will abandon them without a thought.

Whichever classes Roberts may have skipped, I'm pretty sure he's going to know quite a few competent lawyers who are very nicely skilled up on defamation, and probably also the use of insanity defences to try and avoid the consequences...

Although defamation is very difficult to prove in the US, different from the UK where the defendant has to prove the statement's true, and here that the judge has suffered harm from it.

I'm not sure how you'd actually prove you didn't kill Epstein, and the rest.

Well, linking him with the folk devil of "paedophilia" pretty much maximises the potential harm. OTOH, Lin Woods' complete and total lack of credibility suggests that few are likely to take his claims seriously...though it is more likely to be the idiots who think kidnapping governors who are going to believe it.Although defamation is very difficult to prove in the US, different from the UK where the defendant has to prove the statement's true, and here that the judge has suffered harm from it.

I think the likeliest outcome will be Woods' progressive disbarment from every court in the US.

I did also see that if someone goes round making preposterous accusations then courts don't look favourably on it along the lines of Crying Wolf.

I don't know if the US has an equivalent, but "vexatious litigant" status in the UK is a good way not to get your argument heard...

Well, better than calling them sacred anti-Trumpers, I suppose.

He's not bringing the cases on his own behalf. He's not the litigant and couldn't be declared vexatious
Lin Woods does have some brief claims to fame - he represented Richard Jewell in his civil suits over allegations of his guilt, and represented the Ramseys in asserting...err..their innocence. You are correct, though, that his current behaviour is completely and totally lacking in credibility
US Bar associations are generally reluctant to disbar members. For example, despite a 25 year career of filing not merely frivolous, but ridiculous suits, and even having been found to have inappropriately touched his kids, Larry Klayman still hasn't been disbarred, although he's currently serving a suspension.
It'd be unusual for a Supreme Court judge to sue for defamation, but Woods appears to be daring Justice Roberts to sue him over his pedophilia claims. If Roberts does, he appears to have a high likelihood of success, unless Woods can evidence his outlandish claims, for example, producing a non-dead Jeffrey Epstein to back him up.
Even if neither of the above prove to be the end of his career, he's at the point where only people who share his distorted world view will hire him. It's a small market, with a lot of grifters. His day is over.

I get the feeling that post-White House, she'll hit the road at the first opportunity.

I've listened to the "secret recordings" an ex-friend made of their conversations. What I've heard suggests that she and Trump are pretty similar people. They're both very transactional in their personal relationships, and she doesn't seem to have much feeling for anyone other than herself and her son. Besides, why ditch the big payoff when she's so close to a payday? He's elderly and eats crap. He's not going to last forever.

Very true, but he clearly has lasted a lot longer than she expected him to. Perhaps she's taking every chance to raise his blood pressure by endlessly dropping the election into the conversation.

The lawyer on that call with Trump has been made to quit:
Cleta Mitchell, the prominent Republican attorney who has been advising Donald Trump in his efforts to overturn the US presidential election, has resigned from her law firm, the Washington Post reports.
Mitchell’s role in the president’s attempts to subvert democracy was revealed on Sunday, when the Washington Post published a recording of an hour-long call during which Trump, aided by Mitchell, attempted to pressure the Georgia Secretary of State to change the outcome of that state’s vote.
Mitchell’s law firm, Foley & Lardner, issued a statement Monday expressing concern about Mitchell’s participation in the phone call, noting that the firm had “made a policy decision not to take on any representation of any party in connection with matters related to the presidential election results” in November.

I really can't understand why Roberts hasn't already gone DefConOne with lawsuits. I would, were I he.
