The story has its facts wrong, though. In particular, Citizens United *supported* campaign limits and regulation, ruling against the challengers that wanted those regulations declared unconstitutional.

But overall the piece talks as if the Supreme Court is a legislature, crafting policies and shaping laws concerning campaigning. That's simply not the role of the Court in the US system of government.

The Court merely points out that we have constitutionally protected rights to engage in the democratic process, even if politicians wish to control us, and it "guts" those efforts to silence political speech.
