Yes of course.
Normal people would see it that way because it symbolizes not just the end of client-lawyer privilege but is a rejection of the rule of law and exemplafies once again that there two kinds of people in America: those that break the law and the rules with impunity and never get punished because they are in a protected class and then everyone else.
And if you are a conservative, you'll generally be much more severely punished, even crucified for "crimes" that wouldn't warrant a punishment of ten lashes with a wet noodle on a liberal.
