The FFs were against restricting political speech and didn't see any need for Congress to regulate who was talking or what was said for obvious reasons.

Just because something takes a while for the SCOTUS to figure out doesn't necessarily call into question its validity.

All this did was jettison the practice of having favored institutions being exempt from a blanket restriction on free speech. Corps have been able to lobby and fund campaigns since their origin. All that happened is the restrictions got lifted and the Congressionally sponsored monopoly was broken.

The apoplectic panic in the Left is predictable and understandable.
