I'm just listing facts so I (or somebody else) can add things later but I have to read up on Wikipedia rules again. His full name per his grave is "Orbie Jay Floyd" but he is widely known professionally as "Jay Floyd." Maybe create Orbie cross-reference page? I think it's important to note that in Roe vs. Wade there was an original argument (Floyd) then reargument (Flowers). Argued December 13, 1971. Reargued October 11, 1972.Decided January 22, 1973. When Jay Floyd page is done, link can go in Roe vs. Wade entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade#cite_note-salon-30 I believe he was Assistant Attorney General in Texas (not Attorney General). There are opinions of him with the title Assistant Attorney General and he was Assistant in 1971 during Roe vs. Wade. There is an Opinion listing John Jay as Assistant Attorney General, Martin Crawford as Attorney General, dated June 12, 1972 Link to Texas Attorney General page can be put in this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Attorney_General Jay Floyd worked under Attorney General Martin Crawford, likely others but have to reread opinions because Chrome crashed. Also, he would have been appointed by Governor Preston Smith. There should be something about his appointment somewhere. Martin Crawford link can be put in Jay Floyd's page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawford_Martin Governor Preston Smith's link can be put in Jay Floyd's page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_Smith_(governor) Of interest: Jay Floyd was Assistant Attorney General during Sharpstown scandal (?!) Sharpstown scandal link can be put in Floyd's page if this is true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharpstown_scandal Floyd's obituary states he had a Purple Heart, of note is fire destroyed many Purple Heart records in 1973. Purple Heart link can be put in Floyd's page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Heart Jay Floyd could be added to the Wikipedia Purple Heart page. In 1969 Jay Floyd was on the Opinion Committee for the Attorney General's office Of note: Hawthorne Phillips, also the name of former Texas Supreme Court Associate Justice, is listed as Executive Assistant on that opinion Thomas Hawthorne ("Phil") Phillips (1914-1975) Hawthorne had previously worked for the FBI according to Tarlton Law Library. I think Hawthorne needs a Wiki page. The North Texas Daily (Denton, Tex.), Vol. 54, No. 82, Ed. 1 Friday, March 5, 1971 reports that Jay Floyd was part of the legal team contacted regarding a North Texas State University ACLU? rally held on February 17, 1971 (re US policy in Southeast Asia (Laos invasion/Vietnam) and US black oppression regarding an injunction against 1980s FBI fugitive [|Elizabeth Ann Duke] and co-protestor David Haylon. Other cases Jay Floyd worked on: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22jay+floyd%22+texas+attorney+general+austin&hl=en&as_sdt=6,43&as_ylo=1971&as_yhi=1973 (I can list/summarize these later) Jay Floyd was a director in the 1987-1998 Llanos Lions Club . He received a Llano Memorial Hospital Memorial from American Legion Post 370 in 1996. Jackywriteshere (talk) 06:21, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
