It looks like a mixed bag based on my fast review of the transcript. Based on the questions and interactions, the provisions regarding the police stop provisions look like they stand a better chance than the registration and employment provisions. In essence, those provisions where Arizona police are bringing individuals to the attention of ICE seemed to concern the Justices less than those allowing Arizona to create their own immigration crimes. I'll bet that two provisions survive and two are struck. Could be a 4-4, but even some of the liberal Justices seemed skeptical on the police stop provisions. Of course, the big concern with those provisions are the possibilities for racial profiling and other civil rights abuses and litigation on those grounds are likely. But they would need to wait until the law took force.
