He has said as much himself, but I doubt it would have made much
difference.  I believe the justices understood the issues and what
they were doing.  Tweaking the emphasis of his arguments probably
would not have changed the opinions of three of them.

One lawyer really isn't enough.  If supreme court justices can't
agree, you can't trust the opinion of only one lawyer.  If you want to
watch Game of Thrones two hours after it originally aired on your
legally subscribed and paid for channel, you really need a legal team
with a statistically valid sample size of opinions before you can
proceed with that sort of thing.
