Along with the continued development of the political dynamics that occurred during the founding of the Republic of Indonesia has a significant impact on the survival and growth of judicial power. Initial ideas of placing the judicial authorities and the independent judiciary free from interference by other branches of power have a long history. In carrying out the duties of a judge must be able to manage skills and as an upholder of justice professional, kind and reliable. Since this is an important prerequisite. Because of the ebb and flow of political dynamics in Indonesia that today is a democratic state. Where Indonesia recently found his form when the reform introduced in 1998. A new independent judicial power can be realized in a more noticeable when the Suharto regime fell, and then transforms the Law No. 40 of 1970, and then followed by a change to the provisions of Article 24 of the Constitution of 1945. Political law is closely related to the judicial authorities and the judiciary is independent state authority to conduct judiciary, enforcing the law, and justice based on Pancasila, for the implementation of state laws in the Republic of Indonesia. Implementation of judicial power carried by a Supreme Court and judicial bodies underneath, which is the general courts, religious courts, military courts, administrative courts, and a Constitutional Court.

Parliamentary Supremacy

The Constitutional Court is one of the perpetrators of judicial power, in addition to the Supreme Court as referred to in Article 24 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution. The Constitutional Court is also bound to the general principle of an independent judicial power, free from the influence of other institutions in enforcing law and justice. The Constitutional Court is the first and last level judicial body, or it can be said that it is the only judicial body whose decisions are final and binding. The existence of the Constitutional Court is at the same time to maintain the implementation of a stable state government and is also a correction to the experience of constitutional life in the past caused by multiple interpretations of the constitution. Judicial review towards the constitution is one of the authorities of the Constitutional Court that attracted attention. This shows that there has also been a shift in the doctrine of the parliamentary supremacy towards the doctrine of the supremacy of the constitution. The law was previously inviolable, but now the existence of a law is questionable in its alignment with the Constitution. The authority to examine the Law towards the Constitution is the authority of the Constitutional Court as the guardian of the constitution. This authority is carried out to safeguard the provisions of the Act so that it does not conflict with the constitution and / or impair the constitutional rights of citizens. This shows that the judicial review towards the Constitution carried out by the Constitutional Court is basically also to provide protection for human rights.

Every Indonesian citizen has the obligation to uphold the applicable law. Every implemented law has a demand for justice. Judicial power must exist in every democratic State of Law, tasked with upholding and overseeing the enactment of the applicable law and regulations (ius constitutum) in order to realize justice. Law without justice will be in vain, as a result, law will become invaluable before community. To answer the problems in this study, the researcher used a normative juridical approach, descriptive qualitative in nature. In this research, law enforcers, especially judges, must uphold the authority of the law and uphold the value of trust in society. The important prerequisites in upholding law and justice in the wolrd of justice is noble, clean, honest, professional, high integrity, high moral, and dignified judge. Supreme Court and Constitutional Court as judicial power holders, along with Judicial Commision in the scope of judiciary powers, not only have the authority to guide the judges but also have the authority to maintain the independency of judiciary powers from the influence of government and outside government parties by minimizing the subjectivity in recruitment process of prospective judges and supreme judges. The independency of judicial power is not enough, because law enforcers, especially “bad” judges can take refugee under the independency of judicial power.  To build an “ideal” Judge or Supreme Judge who will fulfill the people needs of justice, the Judge or Supreme Judge recruitment process conducted by Judical Commission need to be strict while increasing the control over the implementation of power to minimize the arbitrary acts and abusive judge’s power. High commitment, consistency, adhering to the principles and code of ethics in carrying out their duties will lead to a clean, authoritative judiciary in the eyes of the society so that the hope of upholding independent judicial power will be realized while at the same time bring improvements to the Indonesian justice situation.

Artikel ini mengkaji mengenai independensi kekuasaan kehakiman yang ditinjau dari Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi. Independensi kekuasaan kehakiman merupakan keharusan dalam sebuah negara hukum (rechtstaat). Negara  hukum baik dalam konsep Rule of Law ataupun Rechtstaat, menempatkan peradilan yang bebas dan tidak  memihak  (independence and impartiality of judiciary) sebagai salah satu cirinya. Akan tetapi, kemerdekaan tersebut bukanlah tanpa batasan sehingga dapat diterjemahkan dengan seluas-luasnya. Sering kali dalam praktiknya independensi didalilkan untuk berlindung atas suatu perbuatan yang tidak dapat dipertanggungjawabkan. Oleh karenanya, perlu dilakukan penggalian makna independensi kekuasaan kehakiman sebagaimana amanat Pasal 24 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Dasar 1945. Pasal 24 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 menyatakan bahwa “kekuasaan kehakiman merupakan kekuasaan yang merdeka untuk menyelenggarakan peradilan guna menegakkan hukum dan keadilan”. Oleh karenanya, pertimbangan dari Mahkamah Konstitusi terkait putusan-putusan yang menjadikan Pasal 24 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 sebagai batu uji dalam pengujian undang-undang layak untuk dikaji dan diangkat menjadi tafsiran mengenai makna independensi kekuasaan kehakiman. Tulisan ini menggali pandangan hakim dalam putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi yang memuat pertimbangan mengenai independensi kekuasaan kehakiman. Penulisan menggunakan metode yuridis normatif melalui pendekatan konseptual (conceptual approach) dan pendekatan kasus (case approach). Tulisan ini menggunakan data sekunder dengan bahan hukum primernya adalah Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi. Data dianalisis menggunakan metode kualitatif.This article examines the independence of judiciary by reviewing the Constitutional Court Decisions. Independence of judiciary is an absolute fact in a state of law (rechtstaat). A state of law, in the concept of Rule of Law or Rechtstaat, lists independence and impartiality of judiciary as one of its characteristics. However,  independence is not as free as everybody can freely interpret the law. Often, in practice, independence is postulated so as to provide protection from an act that cannot be accounted for. Therefore, it is necessary to delve into the meaning of judicial power independency as mandated by Article 24 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution. Article 24 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution states that “judicial power is an independent power to administer judicial proceedings to enforce the law and justice”. For that reason, it is reasonable that the Constitutional Court’s reasoning in relation to the decisions that render Article 24 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution a touchstone in the judicial review of the laws be investigated and regarded as an interpretation of the meaning of judicial power independence. This paper studies the views of the judges in the Constitutional Court decisions that contain the court’s reasoning regarding the judicial power independence. This paper was written by employing a juridical-normative method through a conceptual approach and a case approach. This paper uses secondary data with the Constitutional Court Decisions as the primary legal materials. The data were analyzed using a qualitative method.

Indonesia is a country of law. Jimly Asshiddiqie formulated twelve main principles of modern rule of law, one of which was the existence of a free and impartial judiciary, and the existence of a constitutional justice mechanism. After amendments of the constitution of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, it has implications for the structure of more democratic state institutions. These changes give birth to the building of state relief from one another in an equal position with mutual control (checks and balances). Judicial Power is an independent power to administer justice to uphold law and justice. An independent judicial power or what is referred to as the principle of independence cannot be separated from the principle of checks and balances adopted by Indonesia to ensure that the institutions of authority and duties are balanced and the principles of the state are based on law and constitution. In Indonesia, the Constitutional Court judiciary was born on August 13, 2003, which was formed based on Law Number 24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court. The history of the establishment of the Constitutional Court (MK) began with the adoption of the idea of a Constitutional Court in constitutional amendments. In the course of normative juridical arrangements regarding the Constitutional Court, there have been four amendments, namely (1) Law Number 24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court; (2) Law Number 8 of 2011 concerning Amendment of Law Number 24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court; and (3) Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 1 of 2013 concerning Second Amendment to Law Number 24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court which has been ratified into law with Law Number 4 of 2014 and has been cancelled by MK Decision Number 1-2 / PUU-XII / 2014. This is due to several problems faced by the Constitutional Court, namely Constitutional Court Judges who violated the code of ethics to commit corruption and bribery. Of course, there is a need for a comprehensive study relating to (1) Appointment of Constitutional Justices and Panel of Experts and (2) External Oversight of Constitutional Justices and the Ethics Board of Constitutional Justices. use the Progressive Legal Theory approach to get solutions to the problematics that occur, which explore the values contained in society. In its arrangement, the Expert Panel and External Oversight have been regulated in Perppu No. 1 of 2013 which has been stipulated as Law Number 4 of 2014, but in that Act, the Court considers that the Expert Panel and External Oversight Committee formed by the Judicial Commission is considered unconstitutional because there is no principle of checks and balances within the judicial authority. With the susceptibility of constitutional judges to take actions outside of authority and other factors that have implications for the declining level of the Constitutional Court's confidence in society. Therefore, the researcher here wants to reconstruct a Panel of Experts and External Supervisors who answer the previous problems. The purpose of the Reconstruction of Panel of Experts and External Oversight is to realize a law enforcement system that is free of corruption, collusion, nepotism.

Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi seringkali menimbulkan perdebatan di masyarakat. Salah satunya terkait penundaan keberlakuan putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi yang telah melahirkan doktrin baru mengenai kekuatan hukum mengikatnya putusan MK. Penelitian ini mengangkat permasalahan, pertama: karakter putusan MK yang memuat tenggang waktu konstitusionalitas dan konsep kebersesuaian undang-undang dengan UUD 1945. Kedua, pengaruh putusan tersebut terhadap pembangunan hukum di Indonesia. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian yuridis normatif. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa, pertama, putusan-putusan yang menjadi objek penelitian ditemukan karakteristik yang beragam terkait dengan tenggang waktu konstitusionalitas dan kebersesuaian antara Undang-Undang dan Undang-Undang Dasar 1945, sebagai berikut; (i) Putusan yang menentukan tenggang waktu secara tegas dan perintah untuk penyesuaian dengan UUD 1945, yaitu putusan Nomor 012-016-019/PUU-IV/2006 (UU KPK) dan Putusan Nomor 32/PUU-XI/2013 (UU Asuransi) dan Putusan Nomor 026/PUU-III/2005 dan 026/PUU-IV/2006 (UU APBN); (ii) Putusan yang menentukan tenggang waktu secara tidak tegas (fleksibel) dan perintah untuk penyesuaian dengan UUD 1945, yaitu Putusan Nomor 97/PUU-XI/2013 (UU Pemda dan UU Kekuasaan Kehakiman) dan Putusan Nomor 14/PUU-XI/2013 (UU Pilpres); (iii) Putusan yang tidak menyebutkan tenggang waktu namun hanya perintah untuk penyesuaian dengan UUD 1945 (secara tidak langsung), yaitu Putusan Nomor 28/PUU-XI/2013 (UU Koperasi) dan Putusan Nomor 85/PUUXI/2013 (UU SDA). Kedua, Putusan MK menjadi salah satu faktor determinan dalam fungsi legislasi, dan hal ini dapat dipahami karena inilah bentuk diskresi yang dimiliki oleh MK selaku pelaku kekuasaan kehakiman.The constitutional court often make their headlines or controversy with their ruling. One of them is relative with the postpone enforcement of a decision which has raised a new doctrine about legal force's binding of the Constitutional Court's decision. This study raised the issue, first, about the character of the constitutional court's ruling which contained the limitation of time in constitutionality and the concept of conformity of the law with the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Second, the influence of the court decision on legal development in Indonesia. This study used normative legal research. The results of the study concluded that, first, it is founded that the various characteristics related to the limitation of time in constitutionality in the court's decision which become the object of this study and also it is founded that the compability between the law and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia as follows : (i) The court's decision that set the limited of time in constitutionality explicitly and orders to adjust to the 1945 Constitution of The Republic of Indonesia, namely decisions number 012-016-019/PUU-IV/2006 (Corruption Eradication Commission Act) and decision number 32/PUU-XI/2013 (Insurance Related Business Act) and decision number 026/PUU-III/2005 and 026/PUU-IV/2006 (State Budget Act); (ii) Court's decision that determine the limited of constitutionality flexibly and orders to adjust to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia namely decision number 97/PUU-XI/2013 (Regional Government Act and Judicial Power Act) and decision number 14/PUU-XI/2013 (Presidential Election Act); (iii) Court's decision that do not mention the limitation of time in constitutionality but only orders to adjust to the 1945 Constitution of The Republic of Indonesia, namely decision number 28/PUU-XI/2013 (Cooperatives Act) and decision number 85/PUU-XI/2013 (Water Resources Act). Secondly, the constitutional court decision is one of the determinant factors in the function of legislation, and this can be understood because this is the form of discretion that the constitutional court has as the perpetrator of judicial power.

Tiesību principus kā pastāvīgus tiesību avotus ir pētījuši daudzi Latvijas tiesībzinātnieki, piemēram, profesore Daiga Rezevska, Valsts prezidents Egils Levits, profesore Ineta Ziemele u. c. Jau kopš 1994. gada Satversmes tiesa konsekventi savā doktrīnā vispārīgos tiesību principus ir atzinusi par noteikumu, kas ierobežo likumdevēja rīcības brīvību. Praksē, ja runā par vispārīgo tiesību principiem, visbiežāk piemin tiesiskumu, taisnīgumu, vienlīdzību un samērīgumu. Taču, attīstoties tiesību doktrīnai, ir atzīts, ka Satversmes pirmajā pantā noteiktais, ka Latvija ir demokrātiska tiesiska valsts, ir uzskatāms par pamatnormu, no kuras tiek atvasināti vispārīgie tiesību principi. 21. gadsimtā, ko daudzi pamatoti dēvē par digitālo gadsimtu, ir radušies jautājumi par vispārīgo tiesību principu saturu šajā informācijas sabiedrības laikmetā. Informācijas sabiedrību nosacīti raksturo trīs faktori: tehnoloģijas, globalizācija un informācija. Neviens no tiem pēc savas pirmatnējās būtības nav juridisks. Taču šie faktori pirmo reizi ir radījuši situāciju, ka jaunie tehnoloģiskie risinājumi tiecas iziet ārpus juridiskās kontroles robežām, apdraudot sabiedrības tiesiskumu un taisnīgumu. Tāpēc demokrātiskai sabiedrībai ir īpaši svarīgi, lai tiesību politikas veidotāji, apzinoties šos riskus, attīstītu tehnoloģiski neitrālu valsts tiesību politiku. Šādas politikas īstenošanu valsts var īstenot tikai tad, ja tehnoloģiskās neitralitātes princips tiek atzīts par vispārīgo tiesību principu, kas izriet no Satversmes 1. panta. General principles of law have been studied by many Latvian scholars including, professor Daiga Rezevska, Egils Levits, professor Ineta Ziemele, and many others. Since 1994, Constitutional Court of the Republic of Latvia has consistently recognized the general principles of law in its doctrine as a provision that restricts the freedom of action of the legislator. In practice, when talking about the general principles of law, most often the rule of law, justice, equality, proportionality have been mentioned. However, as the doctrine of law develops, four overriding principles are also defined in Latvian constitutional law: (1) democratic state system; (2) rule of law; (3) socially responsible state; (4) nation state, which is not reflected in the text of the Satversme, but as an idea falls within the core of the Satversme. The 21st century, which many call the digital age, has raised questions about the content of general legal principles in this role in the information society. This era is relatively characterized by three factors: technology, globalization and information. None of these is legal in nature. However, these factors have, for the first time, created a situation where new technological solutions threaten to go beyond legal control, jeopardizing the rule of law and justice in society. Therefore, in a democratic society, it is essentially important that legal policy makers are aware of these risks and develop state legal policy in technology-neutral path. In order to reach such a goal, the principle of technological neutrality shall be recognized as a general principle of law, which derives from Article 1 of the Satversme.

The Harmonization of the Authority between Supreme Court (MA) institutions The Constitutional Court (MK) and Judicial Commission (KY) is a must. It is done by way of revision of the Law of the Supreme Court, MK and KY for the harmonization of authority. However, if the revision finds a dead end, then the fifth amendment (5) of the 1945 Constitution of the State of the Republic of Indonesia (UUDNRI 1945) is limited to be reconstructed by the provision of Article 24B paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution by affirming the authority of KY clear so that it is not considered to interfere with judicial power. The harmonization can be done by adding an institution that oversees the authority of the Constitutional Court by performing reconstruction in Article 24B paragraph (1) so that there is no more tendency of absolute power. The supervised judge is a judge of the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court.  Keywords: Harmonization, Authority, Supreme Court, Constitutional Court, Judicial Commission.

With a registered marriage, the state recognizes all the rights and obligations attached to each married couple which is protected by existing legal instruments. The principle of judge freedom is part of the judicial authority. namely the power of an independent state to administer justice to uphold law and justice. The principle of freedom of judges in carrying out their duties as judges can provide an understanding that judges in carrying out the duties of judicial power may not be bound by anything and/or pressured by anyone, but are free to do anything. The principle of freedom of judges is independence or independence possessed by a judicial institution for the sake of creating an objective and impartial decision.

Significance At the beginning of 2021, the ZP coalition of the Law and Justice (PiS), Accord and United Poland (SP) parties is stable, but not as strong as it has been in previous years. This weakening in the PiS-led government’s condition is due to many factors, among which the coronavirus pandemic is one of the most important. Impacts The process will continue of subordinating any independent state institutions still left to party control. PiS will take further, similar steps regarding the media, academia and NGOs. After months of pandemic lockdown, the state of the economy is stable if not ideal, and will not lead to early elections.
