Hint: maybe classifying corporations as "legal individuals" and thereby extending the first amendment right to freedom of speech to cover them was a mistake.

(Unpack: if corporations aren't people, they don't have a right to freedom of speech, therefore their public speech -- advertising and lobbying -- can be regulated, therefore advertising large vehicles and astroturf lobbying campaigns can be suppressed.)
