On Jan. 20, 2021, former United States Vice-President Joseph R. Biden was finally sworn in as the 46
th President of the United States of America. However, his path towards the presidency was not without its challenges. Aside from the campaign obstacles brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, President Biden had to face the most unorthodox modern-day politician, former US President Donald J. Trump, who, even before the elections, declared that the only way to lose his seat would be through a large-scale election fraud. After losing the elections, Trump filed numerous cases based on conspiracy theories questioning the integrity of the elections in the battleground states where he trailed President Biden, but to no avail.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 21) It is Solicitor General Jose Calida who should “conduct a careful self-examination,” the Supreme Court said, borrowing the government top lawyer’s words when he sought the inhibition of a magistrate in the electoral protest filed by losing vice presidential candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr.
On November 9, 2020, Marcos and Calida separately moved for the inhibition of Associate Justice Marvic Leonen, noting that ever since he became member-in-charge in October 2019, there was hardly any movement in the case, and that his previous pronouncements and decisions showed his bias and partiality against the Marcoses. Calida said judges accused of prejudice should examine themselves and inhibit, something Leonen did not do.
