This ruling is simply correcting a prior flawed decision

A flawed decision in place for over 100 years.

From the NYTimes article posted previously:

"In 1907, as corporations reached new heights of wealth and power, Congress made its views of the relationship between corporations and campaigning clear: It banned them from contributing to candidates. At midcentury, it enacted the broader ban on spending that was repeatedly reaffirmed over the decades until it was struck down on Thursday."

About that Gallup poll:

"Fifty-seven percent of Americans consider campaign donations to be a protected form of free speech, and 55% say corporate and union donations should be treated the same way under the law as donations from individuals are. "

I wonder what the results would have been if people were asked if campaign donations from banks should be treated the same way under the law as donations from individuals are. After all: banks are corporations too.
