You have completely missed the mark in several areas. Roberts was selected by the President because he is an originalist, NOT a judicial activist. He will interpret the constitution regardless of what his personal feelings are on any case. Second, he advocated in the Rice vs Cayetano on behalf of his client, the US Government. It was not a personally motivated amicus brief.

Where in his record is he an originalist.

I want some assurances after some of the past court picks.

I don't want an activist that will make gay marraige legal.

But I want someone that will overturn bad precedent made by this court in the recent and past future.

If it isn't in the constitution that is grounds for overturning bad precedent.
