Yes, it was certainly worth a link. As a prominent academic and philosopher his arguments are always worth considering as well as being quite readable and entertaining at times. As has already been said, until the appeal is settled, all views on the subject are just opinions on the possible outcomes. I would not dream of simply deferring to authority but some opinions do carry more weight than others.

As the governments defense has already been dismissed once but an appeal has been allowed we can safely say that legal opinion about the outcome is divided.
