Devils advovacate... There is a huge problem with this act that the American Bar Association pointed out. This act would force Lawyers to report attourney-client privileged and protected client information to the government. https://www.americanbar.org/advocacy/governmental_legislative_work/publications/washingtonletter/oct22-wl/enablers-1022wl/

Which on its face is like "so what?" but one day could effect you, your buisnesses etc

Toomey is an ass but I kind of agree that this Act should have been modified to protect attourney clien privalage

Lawyers are often enablers of money laundering and other shady deals to hide money. Of course they're opposed to this.

I agree but lawyers are also your only protection from other people and the government too, chipping away at your protections can never be good.
