As to suing the judge, that won't get very far. If I'm not mistaken it would get no where under the doctrine of Judicial Immunity. As Clem said, It's his courtroom and he gets to make the rules of decorum.
I'm sure he was within the law, and a lawsuit would be futile. I would try this asshole in the court of public appeal. Have him on the news, the local FB pages, anything you can do to put the elected officials in the hot seat until this guy is reprimanded or removed from the bench. I agree 100% there has to be a certain decorum in the courtroom, but handcuffing a guy for 6h because he had a shirt untucked is bs and if it was me, I would be starting a revolution.
