As a formula for economic recovery, the New Deal failed. Many businessmen and financiers did not support the economic measures of the New Deal. With the recession of 1937, many business leaders and politicians claimed that FDR's policies were a failure and the attempt to maintain prosperity during peacetime was not successful at all. The increased size of the government caused many to oppose the New Deal and there were those who thought FDR was trying to establish a socialistic government with all the New Deal agencies.
Many felt that the Depression was just part of the free enterprise (capitalistic) system correcting itself and the laws, such as supply and demand, of the free enterprise system would eventually heal the economy. There were some radical proposals. Huey Long (The Kingfish) from Louisiana gained some support for his "Share the Wealth" program. This would place taxes on the very wealthy and no personal incomes on more than one million dollars a year would be allowed.
The supreme court opposed the New Deal, because there were nine members in total, and seven were Republicans. The Republicans did not agree with President Roosevelt's New Deal laws.

While the New Deal programs were generally popular with the majority of Americans, most of the Republicans in congress opposed them. Some of their opposition was political-- President Roosevelt was a Democrat, and traditionally, politicians oppose many of the policies of the opposing party. Many of the Republicans who opposed the New Deal believed it was too expensive to implement, and that it would result in an expansion of government.
That statement is true :p

They opposed the New Deal because of the huge costs that were needed for the New Deal, the tax payers had to pay a lot more, and the disappearance of Laissez Faire.

There are multiple reasons politicians protested the 'New Deal'. From the Left, politicians argued that the 'New Deal' did not do enough redistribution of wealth. From the Right, politicians opposed more government welfare programs.
Because in Congress, a new conservative coalition had arisen out of opposition to New Deal liberalism and FDR's internationalism.
