Column: These are the legal obstacles that could stop Trump's assault on government in its tracks

The article from MSN discusses the potential legal obstacles that could hinder former President Donald Trump's plans if he were to return to office. It outlines several key areas where legal challenges might arise: Firstly, criminal investigations and potential indictments related to his actions before, during, and after his presidency, including the January 6 Capitol riot, could lead to significant legal battles or even convictions that might bar him from office. Secondly, civil lawsuits against Trump, like those from the New York Attorney General for business fraud, could result in financial penalties or restrictions on his business activities, impacting his ability to fund or manage a campaign. Thirdly, constitutional and statutory restrictions might be invoked, such as the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause, potentially disqualifying him from holding office if found to have engaged in insurrection or rebellion. Additionally, ethics and conflict of interest laws could limit his ability to enact policies that benefit his personal business interests. Lastly, judicial review of executive actions could slow down or alter his policy implementations, as courts might scrutinize and potentially block controversial or legally dubious moves. These legal hurdles collectively pose significant barriers to Trump's potential governance, potentially stopping his "assault on government" in its tracks.
