No they're arguing Super PACs distort and limit healthy, democratic speech; that Super PACs are detrimental to speech.
The corollary to your assertion is that Super PACs increase speech. But this 'increased speech' can similarly be 'increased' by foreign political donations, which highlights the absurdity of these 'speech' claims to anyone interested in reclaiming a properly functioning democracy.
