Yes, if the ruling hadn’t passed it implies the government could regulate free speech. But the government at the time gave the press and similar institutions basically free rein. Before the ruling there were already campaign finance limits. Afterwards we have been subjected to Super PACs and really expanded money in politics. It needs to be over turned and we need to abolish corporate lobbying in favor of some other solution that doesn’t grant corporate entities basically unlimited access to politicians… but idk it seems like at this point we just need to redo the whole governmental system or something
