Roe v. Wade, 410 US 113 (1973) had to be argued twice because both attorneys failed to make a strong case to the Court in the initial oral stage. Roe's attorney, Sarah Weddington, was unable to explain to Justice Potter Stewart why the Constitution would protect a woman's right to privacy. The attorney representing Texas, Jay Floyd, also had a weak argument.Robert C. Flowers replaced Floyd as Jane Roe's Texas' lead counsel and withstood strenuous questioning from both Justice Stewart and Justice Marshall.To access MP3 recordings of the oral arguments in Roe v.
