LaCroix on federalism

I've already ordered my copy of Chicago law professor Alison LaCroix's new book The Ideological Origins of American Federalism and made plans to write about it online at some point. But now I notice that she's been blogging the book's themes chez Balkin:

The New Old Federalism

Commandeering Federalism

Recommended reading, and I hope to start writing some responses later this week.
