Then what about limits placed on contributions to candidates? These laws have been on the books for years. Why don't these laws "limit free speech"?

What makes you think they don't? A constitutional system would allow unlimited donations and full and immediate disclosure of donors.

Then you're bitching about an issue which is at least a quarter century old. I fail to see how an issue that been an "abomination" to the Constitution for 25 years (campaign finance laws) generates such a hissy fit today. Hey, the courts have been eroding the Constitution for over 40 years at least. When I hear people saying they're going to refuse to vote for the one candidate next year who could actually start to reverse this trend on the courts simply because of this one bill, which IMHO is small beans in the scheme of all the other outrages the courts have done over the last four decades, I'm perplexed.
