Jacob Sullum writes in Reason and he’s a lot more honest about things than the Supreme Court: “As Hasen points out, the Supreme Court’s shaky distinction between spending (speech) and campaign contributions (not speech) is even shakier now that groups like Winning Our Future, Restore Our Future, and Back to the Future (my suggestion for a pro-Paul, constitutionalist super PAC) are run by politicians’ former staffers and funded by familiar campaign supporters. The super PACs are prohibited from ‘coordinating’ with candidates’ campaigns, but politicians are still apt to be grateful to the people who help them win elections, which is a tendency to keep in mind while evaluating the performance of elected officials. Still, the possibility of corruption does not override the First Amendment.”
