Fine, but what about the New York Times and their endorsements? MSNBC?

The Constitution's 1st Amendment is very clear on this. Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. It doesn't say "EXCEPT in the case of elections".

But the fact that you believe that news corporations should also be banned from speech also violates that same amendment.

That 5 justices voted to overturn this law is not disturbing. What scares me is that 4 justices voted against them.
