Later Edit: bear, kaylarudbek, gypsum or anybody else who might know:

I was under the impression that judges (especially Supremes) are not allowed to talk in public about decisions they have made or been part of. The rationale for this is that if they have anything to say, they have ample opportunity to do so in their published decisions. They can write anything they want, and their opinions have legal weight as binding precedent, or strong dissent that may some day be adopted as a common law rule, or even legally persuasive obiter dicta. Talking about it after the fact may give undue weight to their comments, because they're Exalted Judges, and people may take their off-the-cuff remarks very seriously even though they have absolutely no legal significance.

Is this so, or is that only the case in Canada? And if it's true for the US... what's up with Justice Scalia?

Hell, even if it's not true, what's up with Scalia? Who peed in his Wheaties?
