Is this just a personal opinion or is it a legal term?

I think he was just expressing an opinion. The Constitution has a pretty well-defined mechanism -- i.e., the amendment process -- for dealing with provisions that are no longer valid.
The Comstock Act is a real anachronism in the modern world, and it's likely
to be addressed by the Supreme Court at some point. Congress could also try
to appeal it at some point, especially if the Dems re-take the House in
2024, but not sure they can get the votes in the Senate.
