Given the screwwy nature of our political world, I’ll predict the most convoluted, illogical outcome possible:
5-4 to strike down Az Immigration
5-4 to strike down Individual Mandate
5-4 to uphold the rest of Obamacare

You may be right on it except the vote to uphold the rest of Bobocare wouldn't be 5-4 but 6-3. Once the IndvMand would be struck down, Kennedy and Roberts would likely be satisfied that the rest passed constitutional muster.
Not that it does, just that I think Roberts would think appearances count at that point ie better to not have both healthcare votes go 5-4. But then Scalia, Alito and Thomas in strong dissent. "Sharp disagreements" all around, re: Ginsberg...
