A majority of the [[Rehnquist Court]] was on record with the opinion that the [[U.S. Constitution]] does not require a reading of the Miranda warning.  But in ''Dickerson v. United States'', 530 U.S. 428 (2000), a 7-2 opinion written by Chief Justice [[William Rehnquist]] upheld the Miranda warnings by saying that "the warnings have become part of our national culture." Justice [[Antonin Scalia]] railed against this decision in dissent, but the Miranda warnings remain mandatory to this day.
