"Legal straight-jacket". 

I've never heard it being referred to like that and it's spot on. Sure, some conservatorships may be necessary but the issue is the lack of transparency and the fact that it's a million dollar business by all accounts. 

Quite a powerful speech.

Wow they brought up surveillance issue.. they all watched NYT documentary. Netflix and CNN will never.

Feels odd being on the same page as Ted Cruz who also spoke at this hearing.  We would not normally agree . This is going to become part of Britney's legacy. She has always struck me as being such a kind person and it would not surprise me if she became an activist in this area once she is out of her own conservatorship to help others (in addition to the awareness she has raised already).

I don't think there's a single conservatorship that is necessary when you get plenty of alternatives.
