Ayup, basically anyone who calls themselves a Federalist ever since Nixon is saying "The New Deal was an evil power grab". At the time (Nixon's), it was also a way to seduce angry Dixiecrats over to the Elephant Side by using "states' rights" as a foil against "civil rights".
Come to think of it, when Republicans invoke states' rights nowadays, it's usually in the context of abortion or minimum wage laws. So hey, still a foil against "civil rights".
