This is a good @jonathanchait on Mitch McConnell's shift on corporate speech: nymag.com/intelligencer/…. I would note, tho, that it's not the case that no one doubted Mitch's sincerity when it came to defending campaign $$ as speech. "The Cynic" laid that bare as a tactical gambit!
Here fwiw is the relevant section from The Cynic about how McConnell came to adopt the "campaign $$ is speech" argument against campaign finance reform. It was pure political calculus. 1/3
