Shifting and arbitrary. Not like the core and fundamental right for judicial persons (aka corporations) to spend as much money as they want on election ads under the guise of free speech. I mean, that’s a pretty dilute form of free speech you’re talking about.

A fundamental right to engage in political advocacy seems pretty concrete to me.

And even in the absence of the fourteenth amendment, the originalists and textualists who abhor balancing are likely to approve of these laws since these laws existed long before the US became a country

Nah, plenty of originalists oppose felon disenfranchisment based on Article 4, Section 2 of the Constitution, which promises:

The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

Yeah, because what everyone wants is a court full of Thomases. Oral arguments would be a lot less stressful.
