[W]e don't believe this lawsuit is really about fears about free speech ... Rather, it is fear that donors will be less willing to give if they can't do it in secret ...Well, those are precisely fears about free speech.
In constitutional law, money is speech (like it or not) and a rule requiring a speaker (donor) to identify herself has a chilling effect, which tends to abridge speech, which violates the First Amendment.
It's not rocket surgery.
