Even a public speech can limit the reporters and camera crews if it's made on private property. If Clinton's speeches that he makes at various schools were open to the media, there wouldn't be much reason to pay him $200K a pop, would there?

The media is routinely kept out of courtrooms, jailhouses, schools, private venues, etc. Just because you've got a camera or microphone doesn't give you carte blanche to go where you please and record what you please.

You may note no media recording devices are allowed inside the Supreme Court. Why do you think we get all those artists' drawings of the hearings?

Erm... to note: before I get too entrenched here defending the dumbest "textualist" in history, I just want to let you know I am no fan of Antonin Scalia.
