## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- noting that relator’s assertion of the First Amendment is not a shield to a subpoena but if the subpoena is overly broad upon issuance, the relator has an adequate remedy to challenge that through Crim.R. 17(C)
- recognizing that those cases adopting a three part balancing have essentially adopted the dissent in Branzburg

## Opinion text

Wright, J.,
concurring. I am in agreement with the judgment in this case and the bulk of the commentary. However, I agree with Justice Douglas’ observations in Parts I, III, and IV of his concurrence.
