Thanks to Marty for pointing out a typo and some imprecision in what I wrote in my post on 527s:

I wrote:
  "I explain here at 34-35 why this reinterpretation of CMA might mean that may now be unconstitutional to regulate such 527s if they engage in electioneering communications."

What I should have said is:  
  "I explain here at 34-35 why this reinterpretation of CMA might mean that it may now be constitutional to regulate individuals' contributions to 527s if those organizations engage in electioneering communications."
