Only a panel of 3 appellate judges in the D.C. jurisdiction are
deliberating over the case (Eldred v. Reno).  If you want to
withhold stating your opinion on this issue until you hear what
those 3 judges think, that's certainly your option.  Do you even
know who those judges are?

BTW, many persons outside of the judiciary -- and many voters --
can and do make decisions about constitutionality on their own.
Many take an oath of office requiring it.
