You would be correct. The SC said political contributions were a form of free speech and, therefore, protected under the bill of rights.

And I would agree with you 100% but they have done it recently. Remember the SC threw out the death penalty sentence for 2 people in LA, I believe, saying that it was cruel and unusual. The basis for that was strictly ideological though. Here is a link to an article about it.

I agree with you that they will try, but I dont think it would make it through the Senate. At least 3 Senators have a serious black eye already from trying to get through the legislation they just passed, I dont think they will be able to push through a FAR more expensive, and FAR more intrusive bill.
