On free speech in America

I am very curious how the Supreme Court of the United States will deal with the McCain-Feingold restriction on corporate-funded (or even remotely funded) ban on election related publications, films or television.

While I would never claim to be a lawyer, it would seem to me that the First Amendment to the US Constitution should make such provisions in McCain-Feingold clearly illegal:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
