From Ted Cruz To Elizabeth Warren, There's A Bipartisan Push To #FreeBritney

While partisan gridlock has become a staple in Washington, D.C., there is an issue uniting lawmakers on both sides of the aisle: pop star Britney Spears' legal battle against her conservatorship.

From progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., to conservative Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, lawmakers with vastly different political philosophies have shared their support for Spears.

Spears' guardianship arrangement dates back to 2008 following her mental health crises and has enabled her father, Jamie Spears, to exert control over her personal decisions as well as her estimated $60 million fortune.

"The people who did that to me should not be able to walk away so easily," Spears said in a leaked audio recording of her call in June to a Los Angeles Superior Court.

Different political figures probably have their own agendas, but the general feeling is the same.

Elizabeth Warren's is to see justice done.

Ted Cruz's is to try and score points with her fans.
