If you read Alito's previous writing, it's pretty clear how challenges to things like gay marriage will go. From his dissent in Obergefell, you'll find some words that are almost verbatim from the Dodd draft: "To prevent five unelected Justices from imposing their personal vision of liberty upon the American people, the Court has held that “liberty” under the Due Process Clause should be understood to protect only those rights that are “‘deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition.’” Washington v. Glucksberg, 521 U. S. 701, 720–721 (1997). And it is beyond dispute that the right to same-sex marriage is not among those rights. See United States v.
Windsor, 570 U. S. ___, ___ (2013) (ALITO, J., dissenting)
(slip op., at 7)." He's kind of already written the opinion overruling Obergefell and Windsor.

One thing I could never get an answer to; what was prohibited in Griswold? Condems? The pill? I just read contraceptives.
