  It looked like Arizona was going to stand up for property owners dealing
  with trespassers falsely claiming to be tenants that police won't
  arrest. But the governor vetoed the bill.

 

  If it had become law, police could have immediately removed these fake
  tenants.

 

  The governor claimed it "fails to leverage existing legal mechanisms,
  respect the due process rights of lawful tenants, and minimize
  unintended consequences such as for victims of domestic violence."

 

  The bill's sponsor said it did not affect existing landlord-tenant law,
  and it exempted family members and those agreeing to co-habitate.

 

  What the heck do issues of domestic violence have to do with squatters
  moving in when the homeowner is away and refusing to vamoose in near
  record time when found out?

    Let's be more precise with language. Someone falsely claiming to be a
  tenant is not a squatter. Squatting has to do with hostile encroachment
  upon abandoned land. A homeowner temporarily away has not abandoned his
  land. These are trespassers.
 

  If >I< were Governor I'd work towards instant eviction along with
  award of damages as soon as an injuction were obtained and i would
  order application for such injunctions get ultra-high priority in
  court scheduling. (I'd be satisfied with 2-3 hour turnaround - and
  DEFINITELY not 4-6 weeks as I've heard of in some jurisdictions)

 

ROFLMAO.  You have no clue how the courts actually work.

 Courts enforce the law. Change the law and the courts have no choice but to
comply with it.
 

Courts don't enforce the law.  You're supposed to be a LAWYER, for fuck's sake.  Ask USCourts.gov.

The federal judiciary operates separately from the executive and legislative branches, but often works with them as the Constitution requires. Federal laws are passed by Congress and signed by the President. The judicial branch decides the constitutionality of federal laws and resolves other disputes about federal laws. However, judges depend on our government’s executive branch to enforce court decisions.
