Analysis of the Mechanism for Dismissal of Judges of the Constitutional Court by the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia
Abstract
The Constitutional Court Law has regulated mechanisms related to the dismissal of constitutional judges. However, in practice, Constitutional Court judges can be dismissed unilaterally by the House of Representatives. This is not based on existing legal provisions regarding the dismissal of Constitutional Court judges. The formulation of the problem in this study is to analyze the mechanism for dismissing judges of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia by the House of Representatives and the juridical implications. This research aimed to find out and analyze the mechanism of dismissal of constitutional judges by the DPR RI and find out its juridical implications. The research method used is normative juridical research method. The results of this study are first, the mechanism for dismissing judge Aswanto carried out by the DPR that has violated the mechanism for dismissing judges contained in the Constitutional Court law. Therefore, the dismissal carried out by the DPR is contrary to the law. Second, the juridical implications, among others, will become a precedent for other proposing institutions to carry out the dismissal of Constitutional Court judges, reducing the independence of the Constitutional Court. The Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court cannot play a major role in the mechanism for dismissing MK judges.
