I don't believe we are in danger of 'increasing' states rights. They have had the rights all along, we are only re-recognizing some of the ones the federal government has taken over the years.
Like it or not the federal government was intended to be very weak with regard to internal affairs. The states were essentially sovereign nations bound together into a loose federation for common defense, etc.
I still feel that model is appropriate....I feel governing should always be conducted at the lowest possible level. Each successive level of government should only handle the spillover...projects that include multiple states, supreme court appeals, etc.
Everything else should be at the state level or lower, mostly lower.
