Still, any out-of-court discussions about a case by a Supreme Court Justice would be a substantial breach of judicial ethics. A spokesman for Burger said the Chief Justice would not comment on allegations from "former litigants...

After putting the word around that they had prepared several back-up dresses in case of a security breach, they finally fessed up that there was only one after all. But it was enough, and then some.
