State Sen. Sam Givhan (R-Huntsville) expressed doubts about a potential lawsuit against Alabama related to the constitutionality of the CHOOSE Act on Thursday's episode of Huntsville WVNN's "The Dale Jackson Show."
According to Givhan, the legal effort's biggest hurdle could be a lack of funding.
"I don't see where that's coming," Givhan said. "Did you think about some other folks who have the funding readily available? There are groups out there that have it available easily. Somebody could probably pick up the phone and call George Soros. He would probably fund it, but nobody has filed it."
Givhan believes the lawsuit, once filed, is unlikely to succeed, arguing the legal action will not "get anywhere."
"Unless there is something unique in Alabama's constitution, which I'm not aware of that ties something up, I don't see how it's going to change anything," explained Givhan. "What's the end goal? I think she does truly believe in the purpose, but I don't know what the end goal of fight, fight, fight is. You're not going to get anywhere."
In late June, outgoing Huntsville City School Board member Andrea Alvarez pledged to file a lawsuit against Alabama's education savings account program after her current term on the board ends.
