Two Republican lawmakers called for a hearing to examine legal conservatories, citing pop star Britney Spears’ arrangement about her father as the curator of his estate.
Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Florida, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, asked President Jerrold Nadler, DN.Y., to schedule a hearing to examine potentially unfair conservatives in a letter dated Monday and posted on Twitter on Tuesday.
The Spears Conservative has gained attention in recent weeks after The New York Times aired a documentary, “Framing Britney Spears,” about the so-called Free Britney movement. Activists involved in the movement claim that Spears is unjustly detained in a conservatory by her father, who is able to control his finances. While Spears rarely commented on the Conservative, recent court records showed that she demanded that her father be removed as the sole Conservative.
Conservatives are used to allocate financial or personal decisions to another person if a person is unable to make them alone. Spears Conservatory is unusual for how young she was when she was imposed and how long she lasted. Conservatives are most commonly used in cases of mental disability or dementia that prevent a person from making their own sound decisions.
Spears was about 20 years old when a court approved his conservatory in 2008. This came after a series of high-profile incidents that prompted the public to question his mental health and rehabilitation periods and a hospital. of psychiatry.
“Given the constitutional freedoms at stake and the opacity of these arrangements, it is up to our Committee to convene a meeting to examine whether Americans are being unfairly caught in the Conservatives,” Jordan and Gaetz wrote.
