Judges in general cannot talk to parties with business before their court. Fortunately / unfortunately, our Supreme Court has no ethical standards, so there’s no prohibition here like there would be for a lower court. BTW I think you meant “President elect”, who is still a private citizen.
I would love to see what they talked about, do you have the transcript?
Nope. And that's why we used to have these norms -- to avoid the appearance of impropriety. It used to be taken quite seriously by judges, even Supreme Court justices.
Abe Fortas famously resigned from the court after it was learned he had accepted a $20k/year retainer from a financier. It seems so quaint compared to today's open corruption.
