The Supreme Court has ruled that 10 Commandments in a courtroom is unconstitutional. A judge asking people to leave the courtroom, after the session had concluded, to engage in a private conversation with defendants is not.
To satisfy what IMO, is your unreasonable interpretation, perhaps the judge should have asked the defendants (and their families) to meet him in his private chambers...same public building, same court...but maybe it was too small to accommodate them all.
The concept of equal justice under the law (race, religion, sex, ethnic background) applies to judicial decisions, not informal conversations in a non-official capacity.

I am honestly not clear in my own mind if the OP is a display of sincere ignorance or conscientious stupidity.
but IMO, the more you post, the deeper the hole you dig for yourself.
In any case, as you correctly noted, we are each entitled to express our own opinion.
