Abstract

The annulment of DPR Decree No. 11/2025–2026, which replaced the appointment of Inosentius Samsul with Adies Kadir as a candidate for Constitutional Justice, raises critical constitutional concerns regarding legislative authority in judicial recruitment. This study examines whether such annulment aligns with the principles of formele legaliteit and materiële rechtmatigheid, assesses its potential as legislative overreach under autocratic legalism, and evaluates its implications for judicial independence as affirmed in Constitutional Court Decision No. 103/PUU-XX/2022. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, supported by qualitative juridical analysis. The findings indicate that although the DPR’s action is procedurally valid, it lacks substantive constitutional justification, thereby risking willekeur. The use of formal legal mechanisms to justify discretionary replacement reflects a pattern of autocratic legalism that enables political influence without violating procedures. Furthermore, such practice is inconsistent with judicial independence, as it creates structural conditions that may undermine neutrality and public trust. The study concludes that legislative authority in judicial appointments must be constrained by both procedural legality and substantive constitutional principles.
