Yes but a huge part of it. And the media played it up for all that it was worth. How many shows have you seen where the main tension and drama in the show is provided by the fact that some guilty guy is going free because of the exclusioniary rule. It happens in almsot every cop movie, (Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris, Steven Seagall, Law and Order). That was the entire plot of the Star Chamber.
I think once the rule was dropped it would restore an unprecedented amount of confidence in the Judicial system.
