All states have laws which differ from other states, courtesy of the Tenth Amendment. Those which were "thrown out as punishment for the executive branch" were, in fact, ruled unconstitutional, as a violation of Article Six, and/or the Fourteenth Amendment.

What do you mean by "uneven enforcement"?

BTW, in answer to the OP: States' Rights has always been shorthand for segregation, period.
