I mean both, state and federal Supreme Courts. I didn;t realize at first it was the State Supreme Court-my mistake-but many of the same principles apply. Supreme courts in general are supposed to have their powers heavily limited, this is another example. And of course I am sure the Federal Supreme Court is already hard at work trying to curtail Arizona’s rights as a state, as it has long been forgotten that the state is supposed to tell the feds what to do, not the other way.

My understanding is that this "Campaign Finance Reform" like most others is an abject violation of two sections of the First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, . . .or to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Added to by the 14th Amendment:

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States
