Even the U.S. Congress wants to FreeBritney, two representatives having introduced bipartisan legislation to put guardrails on arrangements like Britney’s

Celebs want to free her! Planned Parenthood wants to free her! Even the U.S. Congress wants to free her, two representatives having introduced bipartisan legislation to put guardrails on arrangements like Britney’s.
Introduced by Florida representative Charlie Crist and South Carolina representative Nancy Mace , the Freedom and Right to Emancipate from Exploitation — or FREE — Act would give conservatees the right to ask a judge to replace privately appointed guardians.
“We want to make sure that we bring transparency and accountability to the conservatorship process,” Mace told the Times. “The Britney Spears conservatorship, it’s a nightmare. If this can happen to her, it can happen to anybody.” Still, the FREE Act does not outline an easier path toward ending conservatorships, as Britney has repeatedly stated she wants to do. But it may have made it easier for her to oust her dad — another thing she has repeatedly stated she wants to do — from his conservator position earlier on. As it stands, Britney’s new attorney, Mathew Rosengart, views Jamie Spears’s removal as priority No. 1.
Meanwhile, Mace and Crist are far from the only lawmakers to have seized on the #FreeBritney movement in recent weeks. According to the Times, Texas senator Ted Cruz dedicated a whole episode of his podcast to the cause. The House Republican Caucus text-spammed members, decrying Britney as “a victim of toxic gov’t overreach & censorship.” Democratic representative Seth Moulton called her conservatorship “the craziest” he’d “seen in a long time.
