On this, I think there’s a fair argument that McCain Feingold was itself unconstitutional as it restricts free speech - particularly political speech.

It restricts financial contributions. I’m unclear on exactly why we’ve decided that money and speech are precisely the same thing.

Never mind that reasonable and proper limits on speech are very much a part of our constitutional understanding and tradition - I am reasonably sure that bribery of public officials is illegal, and the connection between bribery and campaign contributions ought to be a pretty obvious one.
