John Leo and Jay Sekulow wrote:

After two days of intense and wide-ranging testimony, there can be no doubt that Judge John Roberts embraces the judicial philosophy articulated by President George W.Bush in two presidential campaigns and on the occasions where the President announced Judge Roberts’s nomination to be an Associate Justice and then Chief Justice.

Leo and Sekulow noted that during Roberts' hearings, he stated:

Now, judges have to decide hard questions when they come up in the context of a particular case. That’s their obligation. But they have to decide those questions according to the rule of law — not their own social preferences, not their policy views, not their personal preferences — according to the rule of law.”

From that and other things that he said, I feel comfortable that Roberts would decide cases based on the Constitution, not on some social agenda.
