Things would have to be case by case in terms of moving from the federal government today vs closer to constitutional libertarian.
The FBI and DOJ probably would not go anywhere any time soon... removing certain limits on class action and civil suits would be a start combined with truth in labelling and marketing regulations. Reducing IP protections and trade secrets would help too... as well as transparency requirements. Civil suit, with enforcement action if non-compliance would be a start.
Like I said, I'm pretty pragmatic about it, but would prefer to move towards more civil action, and less govt.

Also, lets be real... even with more libertarians elected, the bulk of the govt won't be thrown out any time soon... but the goals should be, minimizing govt, encouraging competition and transparency. This can be done through more strategic legislation.

This sounds more like Goldwater Republican ideals than the libertarianism I've been exposed to.
Don't get me wrong, I'd rather the vast majority of govt be significantly reduced or removed... but its about a direction towards that ideal... Also, My stances on a few issues wouldn't hold up in the republican camp, same for Dems....
