Campaign finance laws are a bit like gun control statutes: actual criminals continue to possess large stockpiles of weapons, but law-abiding citizens are disarmed.

An apt analogy, although not intended.

Apply the interpretation of the 2nd amendment to the result - a society with the highest firearm homicide rate in the developed world.

Laws that restrict any ‘entity’ (corporate or individual) from fully expressing their political viewpoint is clearly a violation of the first amendmant.

Yes, clearly a unanimous decision.
