Rather than amend my older comment:
The judge would never say that, anyway. Nearly everyone has a right to represent themselves, although she might have been implying that SovCit was not mentally competent enough to be allowed to do so.
SovCit insisted they weren't the defendant, but was their representative; judge played along and refused to let this non-defendant represent the actual defendant as they are not an attorney.
Either agree you are actually the defendant, or come back as a licensed attorney. In the mean time, the court can assume the defendant hasn't/wont appear and proceed accordingly. (default judgement, bench warrant, or whatever else is applicable to this case)
