It's almost certainly going to get struck down as unconstitutional.

Not so fast, there.

I thought I gained a bit of insight from the last discussion of Citizens United.

And that was: in contrast to popular summaries, the decision does not say that money equals speech. It says that corporations have the same right to free speech as individuals.

Now the way I’m reading the bits posted here, it sounds like HI is banning political donations from corporations to state and local races. But that wouldn’t violate free speech rights because corporations can still run their own ads for or against candidates. It’s only donations directly TO a campaign that have been limited.

And that should be ok, at least to my understanding.
