Reply #3: Maybe she's referring to the Federalist Society. Or Reagan's New Federalism. [View All]

Federalism is, by definition, the belief that states should legislate state matters and the federal government should legislate on national matters. In that sense, everyone's a federalist. And so, as seen in previous episodes of "Slow Trainwreck Back to Anchorage", Palin is just saying more words that don't mean anything.

The closest to what she means probably is Reagan's New Federalism (which is basically states' rights, but without the firehoses). But she probably intended to allude to the Fed Society, who are right wing nuts.
