Since this is the Internet and this sarcasm doesn't exist, the serious answer is that the court systems (ideally) do nothing but enforce laws. That is their job, they should be the primary organization doing that job, alongside the police sometimes, and they don't have any job aside from that.

Legislative—Makes laws (Congress, comprised of the House of Representatives and Senate)
Executive—Carries out laws (president, vice president, Cabinet, most federal agencies)
Judicial—Evaluates laws (Supreme Court and other courts).

The judicial determines whether a law is constitutional. Executive carries out laws, i.e. enforces them.

Quoting whitehouse.gov: "federal courts enjoy the sole power to interpret the law, determine the constitutionality of the law, and apply it to individual cases." The executive branch contains the police as well as the various other departments that investigate potential crimes and bring actions in court against those that commit said crimes.

And of those two things the one with the police isn't the one that enforces? I also see interpret, determine constitutionality, and applying as what the courts do according to what you just said. None of which is enforcement.
