Volokh is the Gary T. Schwartz Distinguished Professor of Law at UCLA, uniquely qualified to weigh in on first amendment law, wrote a column on first amendment and speech issues for the Washington Post for years, and frankly, I imagine would be pretty disappointed (but not surprised, in these illiberal times), to be written off as a “conservative attorney” when he’s consistently espoused libertarian views over the decades.
On top of which, he hasn’t actually weighed in on this ruling yet, and may very well take umbrage with the decision!
His blog at reason did, in fact, post a guest article arguing that the ruling falls afoul of the takings clause.

You just disqualified Volokh for being a “conservative attorney”.
Now you’re citing a conservative attorney whose opinion suits your argument?
That’s not arguing logically or in good faith, even putting aside the fact that your claims regarding Volokh are a fabrication.
