Women and tefillin - The Jewish Standard

Jewish Standard:
«Though he believes that it is acceptable for women to wear tefillin, Rabbi [Joel] Roth said, "I make no claim that women ought to or must wear tefillin.

*I am only saying that if women want to, I see no halachic objection.* »

Comment:

I'm wondering out loud -
aren't the objections of EG:
Maharam Mirothenburg
Kol Bo
Rema
Taz
Magein Avraham
Mishnah B'rurah
Kaf Hachaim
Not to mention the Girsa'ot found in P'sikta as quoted by Tosafos
and the Yerushalmi as quoted by the Beiur HaGRA stating "Michu bah Chachomin" constitute at least SOME Halachic objection?

Or is he saying, that he see no Halachic Objection means that he did not see the above sources and therefore from what he DOES see, there is no objection?

Or ???

Kol Tuv,
