The money in question is not money used for funding campaigns. No rules related to that have changed. The question is about money people spend, independently of the campaigning politicians.

To completely remove the impact of disparate access to cash you'd have to

A) Fund all campaigns equally through government grant.
B) Prohibit anybody other than the candidates from talking about the candidates.

Clearly B would be a violation of free speech. The question is whether corporations are entitled to that right of speech (the answer has gone from "yes, most of the time" to "yes").
