They are public by default. There was a really entertaining transcript where the judge argued vehemently against attempts by the lawyers to restrict public access (which is possible to protect privacy or trade secrets, for example). That said, when I last tried to find transcript, I couldn't find a comprehensive archive. They are available from PACER and from the court, but they charge transcription fees in the 3-digit range. But individual transcripts are published by media organisations, presumably after they pay for them.
