Since money is speech, all laws restricting campaign finance are unconstitutional.
That is a fallacy perpetuated by the conservatives on the SCOTUS.
Essentially it means whomever has the most money can drown out the voices of the poor. That violates the equality under the law provision and is therefore unconstitutional. At some point in the future the Citizens United decision will be reversed just like the infamous Dred Scott decision.
"Harrison Bergeron"
That's a little dramatic, I think.
