My impression is certainly that his view is not a mainstream one. Just look at the opinion: no one joined his dissent, which I think says a lot.

It's worth remembering, though, that his viewpoint doesn't look at practical consequences (except when it does). In other words, the problem you speak about is a sign that the law should perhaps be changed through the proper channels (i.e. Congressional action of some kind), not the courts just applying a patch.
