“#ACLU Files Brief To Protect Britney Spears Amid Conservatorship Battle!
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nThe American Civil Liberties Union<\/strong>\u00a0has officially gone to bat for Britney Spears<\/strong> amid her conservatorship battle \u2014 and it\u2019s calling out the court for infringing on the pop princess\u2019 rights!<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the non-profit organization filed an amicus brief in support of the Toxic<\/em> singer as she tries to take the steps to end the 13-year conservatorship she described as \u201cabusive\u201d in court last month.<\/p>\n

The ACLU, along with 25 civil and disability organizations, filed the brief in support of the Grammy<\/strong> winner\u2019s desire to choose her own attorney after her court-app<\/a>ointed lawyer, Samuel Ingham<\/strong>, resigned from the case last week. As we\u2019ve reported, this wish is prohibited by the conservatorship, as Brit can\u2019t sign any paperwork to get the ball rolling without the approval of her father, Jamie Spears<\/strong>, despite the fact that this move is an attempt to kick him out of his conservator role.<\/p>\n

But now, the Union is here to help \u2014 and it\u2019s even calling for Brit to be given access to assistance and tools to make her selection for her attorney\u2019s replacement. Zo\u00eb Brennan-Krohn<\/strong>, staff attorney with the ACLU\u2019s Disability Rights Project, said in a statement on Tuesday:<\/p>\n

\u201cBritney Spears has said that she wants to pick her own lawyer and the court should respect that wish. The court should ensure Spears has access to the tools she needs to make that choice meaningfully and to hire someone she trusts to advocate for her stated goal: to get out of her conservatorship. Spears\u2019s right to select an attorney is not only a basic tenet of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel, but also consistent with principles of personal autonomy and agency. The California Superior Court must recognize Spears\u2019s autonomy and the rights of people with disabilities to live independent, self-directed lives as active members of their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Preach!<\/p>\n

The line about recognizing the rights of people with disabilities is particularly powerful, as it challenges the conservatorship\u2019s biggest argument as to why the hitmaker shouldn\u2019t be able to choose her own attorney \u2014 and, really, why this legal arrangement should be upheld altogether.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, experts are now pointing out why that logic infringes on Britney\u2019s \u201ccivil liberties and dignity.\u201d Amanda Goad<\/strong>, the Audrey Irmas director of the LGBTQ, Gender & Reproductive Justice Project at the ACLU SoCal, added:<\/p>\n

\u201cBritney\u2019s superstardom and wealth make this an atypical case, but she has described serious infringements on her civil liberties and dignity that are all too typical for people living under conservatorships and guardianships. It\u2019s not just about Britney. We hope that offering supported decision-making to Britney Spears can serve as a model in other cases, because all people living with disabilities or under conservatorship deserve an opportunity to make their own informed choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We\u2019ll see what the court makes of this, but we have a feeling this is a great development for Britney as the fight for her freedom continues. The ACLU are of course not the first to take up the case. Republican Representative\u00a0Matt Gaetz<\/strong> called for a congressional hearing on abusive conservatorships based on Britney\u2019s case, and Senators from\u00a0Ted Cruz<\/strong> to\u00a0Elizabeth Warren<\/strong> have likewise voiced their support for potential reform.<\/p>\n

Who would have thought, in our divided country, that #FreeBritney would be the thing everyone could agree on??<\/p>\n
