I'd say Scalia does it just to keep from being annoyed by the media everywhere he goes. Judges are not known to be avid fans of the media, who'd rather ruin a trial if they can ("break" a story about a trial and you sometimes "break" the judicial system, too -- contamination of jury pool, etc.). I'd bet that the 9 SCOTUS judges hate the media even more, because now they are judges trying to maintain decorum AND they are famous.
Personally, in my cases where the media was involved, I said nothing I didn't have to. I denied access to my clients and refused to respond to snipes made in the media by the other side. Why bother? -- they will only misquote me anyway.
