Not exactly. The original case was over the 30/60 day limits, brought by a right wing interest group that made a movie about Hillary Clinton they wanted to show on Pay Per View. And if that had been all that was decided, that'd have been fine.
But the 5 "conservative" justices on the Supreme Court decided that no, they should toss out any limits at all on spending for elections by any kind of corporation at all. So now corporations can make donations from their own treasuries, or buy their own ads, with no limits.
