In order to get back to a limited government, the first thing we need to do is to legalize drugs! If we are to have any semblence of a Bill of Rights, the drug war must change. The 10th Amendment clearly states that issues such as drugs are the domain of the states.
Some states will take different approaches than others. This is not blanket legalization, as some states will still be very prohibitionist. For the fed to impose national legalization is every much a violation of the 10th as the blanked prohibition we now have.
One thing for sure, as things stand, the drug war has caused harm to every single amendment of the Bill of Rights, save the 3rd, and that's only because surveillence no longer requires soldiers stationed in homes. That is now accomplished with snitches, etc...

Thanks for sharing your opinion.
BTW, I believe you forgot an /sarcasm in there.
What, in your opinion, should be done to get back to a Constitutionally limited govertnment?
One can have a limited government without it also being a Constitutionally limited government.
