In his concurring opinion, Thomas, an appointee of President George H.W. Bush, wrote that the justices should reconsider all of this Courts substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell referring to three cases having to do with Americans fundamental privacy, due process and equal protection rights.

He added that one too. Gay sex was made legal by the Supreme Court.
They want to control what you do with your body, period.
And gay sex can easily be interpreted as sodomy of any kind, which by some definitions includes oral sex, between gay or straight couples.

He is signaling that the Court is in play for the Right Wing agenda.
