## Opinion text

DUMBAULD, District Judge,
sitting by designation, concurring:
I concur in the Court’s judgment but would go further and permit enforcement of the subpoena without the 10% limitation imposed by the District Court.
A constitutional right to make voluntary political contributions is not chilled or discouraged by determining whether political contributions of union members made through a check-off system were in fact voluntary or not.
