What is orbita dicta?
"Dicta" are statements of opinion or belief. "Orbita" refers to circling (imprecise translation, from the same Latin root as "orbit"). "Orbita Dicta" was the term used by Hugo-nominated F&SF fan writer Bob Devney in his fanzine, The Devniad, to refer to quotes garnered during his time at F&SF conventions ... basically, "quotes overheard while circling the convention" ... usually prefaced by introductory comments. An example from one issue: [Back in the hall, NESFAn Chip Hitchcock comes up with a truly epic quote] I was in a panel today where somebody brought up Aristotle's definition of the worst kind of plot: the episodic, where there is a series of incidents with no story --- and someone in the audience said, "You mean like The Odyssey?"

Obiter dicta is a remark made by a judge which forms no part of the reasoning that is directly responsible for the verdict (called the 'rationes decidendi" also called simply "the ratio"). When reading a judgment if a statement is essential to the reasoning of the decision it is part of the rationes decidendi. If it is a side comment, superfluous or not connected to the main body of reasoning its called obiter dicta or simply dicta.
Can obiter dicta be rescinded by the same judge who made it?
I think you may be confusing the meaning of the term. The word obiter dicta is a Latin word which means "things said by the way." Obiter dicta can be passing comments, opinions or examples provided by a judge. Statements constituting 'obiter dicta' are not binding. [For example, if a court dismisses a case due to lack of jurisdiction and offers opinions on the merits of a case, then these opinions constitute 'obiter dicta.'] Obiter dictum (plural of obiter dicta) is an opinion or a remark made by a judge which does not form a part of the court's decision. Therefore, obiter dictum are not legally binding and can ONLY be rescinded, or withdrawn, by the judge who made them.
