Attorney General Eric Holder appeared May 9,2010 on ABC’s “This Week” saying that the Obama administration is open to the idea of a modification of Miranda protections in light of growing “threats we now face”
“The [Miranda] system we have in place has proven to be effective…I think we also want to look and determine whether we have the necessary flexibility — whether we have a system that deals with situations that agents now confront. … We’re now dealing with international terrorism. … I think we have to give serious consideration to at least modifying that public-safety exception [to the Miranda protections]. And that’s one of the things that I think we’re going to be reaching out to Congress, to come up with a proposal that is both constitutional, but that is also relevant to our times and the threats that we now face.” [1]
