Seems to me the world is more and more progressive these days so I doubt it.

Justice Thomas: In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Courts substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell.

Griswold v. Connecticut: In a 7-2 decision authored by Justice Douglas, the Court ruled that the Constitution did in fact protect the right of marital privacy against state restrictions on contraception.

Lawrence v. Texas: In a 6-3 opinion delivered by Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, the Court held that the Texas statute making it a crime for two persons of the same sex to engage in certain intimate sexual conduct violates the Due Process Clause.

Obergefell v. Hodges: Justice Anthony M. Kennedy delivered the opinion for the 5-4 majority. The Court held that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees the right to marry as one of the fundamental liberties it protects, and that analysis applies to same-sex couples in the same manner as it does to opposite-sex couples.

And you can bet after that they'll probably go for Brown v Board. And I'm not exaggerating. https://www.politico.com/newsletters/weekly-education/2022/05/09/will-brown-v-board-of-education-be-next-to-fall-00030923
