# Dickerson v. United States

## Holding used

Miranda is a constitutional rule that Congress could not supersede with § 3501's voluntariness-only test.

## Material limitation

The opinion retained later decisions adjusting Miranda's application and did not collapse voluntariness into Miranda compliance.
