Actually, you are only partially right.

I did say 'how those groups spend it can be restricted.' And it is only limited to groups. It is not a total ban on electioneering speech. All we get now is the candidate's spending, and anyone who can personally ante up. (Don't misunderstand...I'm not defending this here, only trying to clarify.)

No, it's not only limited to groups. It is a total ban on electioneering communication by anyone other than the candidates themselves and "the news media."

If I want to personally produce a television advertisement that says the Democrat candidate for President will be dangerous for America, and I personally buy the airtime to show that advertisement on television, if I do this within 60 days of the election, I am in violation of this law.
