Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black, poses for a photo on Oct. 9, 1970. Supreme Court justices have long prized confidentiality. It’s one of the reasons the leak of a draft opinion in a major abortion case last week was so shocking. But it’s not just the justices’ work on opinions that they understandably like to keep under wraps. The justices are also ultimately the gatekeepers to information about their travel, speaking engagements and health issues. (AP Photo/John Duricka, File)
