This paper aims to analyze the configuration of legal politics in the process of drafting regulations in Indonesia, particularly in the effort to synthesize the poles often considered conflicting: legal certainty and progressive justice. Using an analytical-critical approach, it is found that the legislative process is frequently trapped in political pragmatism that prioritizes legal certainty for economic interests, while neglecting responsive substantive justice. This paper proposes a synthesis where ideal legal politics must place humans as the primary subject of law, where formal certainty must not undermine substantive justice.
