Implications of 14th Amendment Rollbacks

Resolved: The incorporation movement in the Supreme Court is being reversed.

Okay, so incorporation is being reversed. This must mean that the states are regaining power that they lost over the last one hundred and fifty years or so. What will the states do with that power? Would the protection of the rights of a citizen of the United States now be the responsibility of the states? If this is the case, what are the implications for the average citizen? Will he or she experience the abridgement or the fulfillment of rights which he or she formerly possessed? I can see the good and bad of both sides of this coin. What light can anyone else shed on this?
