For Scalia and Thomas is State vs. Federal a defining point?

Yeah when I was typing, I wondered if Scalia and Thomas would vote to hold many federal criminal statutes as unconstitutional because criminal law is the province of the state government not the federal government. For example perhaps they believe federal hate crimes legislation is beyond the constitutional powers of Congress?
