Waaaait, isn't this the same court which considers money to be speech?! By the same rationale, a bank cannot be forced to "speak" with you after you "speak" with it....

If you're getting the "money=speech" information from the Citizens United ruling, then you fell into the same trap I did by reading the headlines. Despite what all the headlines said, Citizens United didn't actually rule that money is speech.
Money = speech regardless of where you are. Because money means influence, and that means you have minimal consequences for your actions.
