Now, it’s important to note that there are still limits on donations to individual candidates:
Note : The limits on donations to each candidate remain in place.

This Supreme Court ruling leaves in place limits on contributions to individual candidates http://t.co/AoYXGqO1LS

But even so, this is a huge victory for the First Amendment:

SCOTUS seems to have gotten this idea in its head that the Constitution protects political speech about elections.

And you know that’s gotta stick in Harry Reid’s craw. After all, the eeeeevil Koch Brothers now have a virtual green light to destroy America!
Looks like Koch-mas came early this year! http://t.co/zB68IT28M8

I guess we’ll just have to call it the US Supreme Koch now. RIGHT? RIGHT?

Tomorrow's news today, Reid's final words: "Koch brothers. Koch brothers. Koch brothers. Koch brothers. Koch brothers. Koch brothers."
— Underdog (@rdbrewer4) April 2, 2014
Ugh. Now the Kochs will attempt to buy the country, and ram through gay marriage, reform of the PATRIOT Act, and the legalization of drugs.

But don’t despair, Harry. You’ll always have these guys:
Harry Reid is right! We need to stop CRONY billionaires – like Tom Steyer!!! http://t.co/TiCiEswlBl http://t.co/g7ax1KIsUN #Koch #tcot

@charlescwcooke lefties will scream bloody murder about Koch bros. Applaud Steyer, et al. Especially bundles for HRC
