Roberts is a drama fearing kitty. Clarence Thomas went full chad and said that the supreme court should also overturn contraception, same-s*x marriage rulings
Roberts generally is deemed to worry about shit like the respectability of the court so he's deemed to go against rulings that can be inferred as party partisan. Of course going against a ruling you agree with to avoid being seen as partisan and political is still partisan and political to me so idk.
Loving was a violation of equal protection clause so it's not really applicable.
Thomas was railing against the broad interpretation of the due process clause which has resulted in several invented constitutional rights protections such as privacy & abortion.
Lawrence: The court in Lawrence v. Texas explicitly held that intimate consensual sexual conduct was part of the liberty protected by the substantive due process under the Fourteenth Amendment
Obergefell: Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy asserted that the right to marry is a fundamental right βinherent in the liberty of the personβ and is therefore protected by the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment
Griswold: By a vote of 7β2, the Supreme Court invalidated the law on the grounds that it violated the "right to marital privacy", establishing the basis for the right to privacy

6-3 to preserve the Mississippi law, 5-4 to completely overrule Roe. I've seen it notated as 5-1-3.
