'Close off portions of the Courthouse.....' Really?!?! Do you know how hard it is for a Judge to even close off parts of the courtroom - without running afoul of the 6th Amendment? It's beyond rare - and the exceptions are so narrow, that having the discussion would be futile. How would you allow people, ie the public, to access courtrooms, without the entire rest of the courthouse (obviously judicial and clerk office are a clear exception) being adversely impacted.
