Definitely the Money Quote:

“Spending large sums of money in connection with elections, but not in connection with an effort to control the exercise of an officeholder’s official duties, does not give rise to such quid pro quo corruption. Nor does the possibility that an individual who spends large sums may garner ‘influence over or access to’ elected officials or political parties.”

- Chief Justice John Roberts, McCutcheon v. FEC.

They’re all money quotes now.
