A judge Wednesday ruled against Britney Spears efforts to have a conservatorship controlling her life removed.
Britney contends her life has been controlled by the conservatorship, right down to sending her to a treatment center (the story did not say what the treatment center was for, but the conservatorship is in place because of supposed lack of mental compentency to make her own decisions.) She contends she is not even allowed to remove a birth control device.
Worthy of note: Britney's fight for control of her own life is taking place right as we are celebrating freedom and the Fourth of July. In America, land of the free, is seems incomprehensible that a person who clearly has the mental capacity to make their own decisions is not being allowed to do so. It seems beyond understanding that a person with millions should be ordered by the court to let someone else decide how those millions are spent.
What is the judge's reasoning? Has the request not been properly filed? It does seem a judge would have power to set a person at liberty. Off top, seems she could just throw out any conservatorship, ruling that in America it is strictly against the Constitution. But, if certain filings are necessary, why doesn't the judge just call Britney and her lawyer up to his bench and explain what is necessary?
Britney's performances are on the edge. She dresses scantily. Some may be hesitant to come to her defense because they don't want to be seen as defending such a person. Some may not even want to discuss her situation, seeing how her performances have so much sexual content, and even speaking about or studying her situation seems off limits.
This is America. At a time our nation is celebrating freedom, we should not be turning our backs on the freedom of one of our celebrities. Whatever you perceive as her vice, she should still have her freedom.
