3. I thought Scalia's dissent on the Arizona case was tame, for him.

In fact, it's a beautiful argument in its own way. However, I also think the OP is onto something. Justice Roberts and Justice Kennedy (and even Justice Alito in his partial dissent) all agreed to limit a state's right to enforce federal law in the Arizona case, and if the mood of the Court, as a whole, is to allow an expansion of federal power at the expense of the states, then it's likely that the Health Insurance Company Enrichment Act will be deemed Constitutional.
