11. Citizens United
You say, "And there is a lot that could be done with regard to campaign finance. For example, why not a federal law that bans corporate donations to political campaigns? As some states do."

This indicates that you haven't the faintest idea what Citizens United is about. You should check it out.

Because the simple solution you suggest is precisely what Citizens United says you can't do.
