Will the Election Reform Bill be killed by the SCOTUS?

Just a few weeks ago the General Assembly passed a ground-breaking (well, for Illinois) new election reform bill which, in part, brings a cap on campaign contributions for the first time. But will this provision of the bill be ruled unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court before it ever goes into effect?

The Supreme Court is set to rule on the constitutionality of limiting corporate campaign donations in Citizens United v. FEC. We will have to wait and see how far the Supreme Court will go in answering the yet unanswered question of the constitutionality of limiting campaign contributions. From USA Today:

If the Supreme Court opens the door to more corporate money in political campaigns, it could affect laws in nearly two dozen states and a host of governor's races next year, including high-profile contests in Texas and Connecticut, experts say.

...

"The Supreme Court decision has the potential to open the floodgates," said Paul Ryan, of the non-profit Campaign Legal Center, which supports campaign-finance restrictions.

State laws vary widely. They range from jurisdictions such as Virginia, Missouri and Illinois, which impose no restrictions, to Oklahoma where unions and companies cannot donate directly to candidates. In Virginia, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce spent $972,877 to aid McDonnell — more than any other business group in this year's race for governor, according to data compiled by the non-partisan Virginia Public Access Project, which tracks campaign money.
