It would prohibit the reversal of legislation, because that's the whole point of the proposed amendment. You can find the text here. It would prohibit the Court from reversing campaign finance laws in the same way the Court is prohibited from reversing any other law that is explicitly outlined in the Constitution. It might be a poorly worded phrase by The Hill, but what they meant was that Congress would have explicit authority to regulate campaign finance that the Court couldn't usurp on any other Constitutional grounds.
