Framing Britney Spears prompts two Republican congressmen to call a hearing on conservatorships

USA Today

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan have called on the House Judiciary Committee to hold a hearing about unjust conservatorships in the wake of The New York Times' FX on Hulu documentary. “If the conservatorship process can rip the agency from a woman who was in the prime of her life and one of the most powerful pop stars in the world, imagine what it can do to people who are less powerful and have less of a voice," Gaetz said in a statement. "I’ve heard the story of those people in Florida, and I am concerned about access to due process for wards."
