seaver...who believes the action of the judge in question is illegal..but of course doesnt care enough to explain that position...or perhaps because there is no legal justification.

It's illegal because it is an order based on race and nothing else. You also misunderstand me, it's not that I don't care about explaining it... I just see it as not worth fighting over. I really don't care what this judge did... does not mean it's not illegal. I see people speeding all the time, which is illegal, but it does not bother me much in the same way. Once again, my example of the double-standards are used to erase double-standards holds though.

In terms of the legality of it - as far as I am aware a judge can do what he wants (within reason) in his or her courtroom, and can certainly ask certain individuals to approach the bench or have a private discussion.

Within reason means the judge can boot people out of a courtroom for creating a disturbance or somehow impeding justice. Judges can boot out protesters if they are creating a problem. They can boot the media if they feel it will hinder the right to a fair trial, or endanger key witnesses. They can boot a lot of people for a lot of reasons, however booting because of the color of skin is not legal.
