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.

If what you said was true, its hardly actionable.
How could you prove that the order was made on the BASIS or race, rather than he wanted to speak to certain people (who were defined for different reasons) and their race was merely a defining factor which he used for simplicity's sake?
although saying that, I am aware of no law under which the judge could be prosecuted in any case, whatever intepretation you give it.
