                    [Summary] => For about three weeks, the nation rode the whirlwind on the impeachment issue. And for a time, there was the danger the republic would take off like a cuckoo bird in the void. But the Supreme Court refused to scare. It saved the day with a 13-1 vote that hit the House smack dab on the kisser. The effect was like Sonny Liston vomiting his mouthpiece as Muhammad Ali – né Cassius Clay – broke his jaw in the first round. Not since the Senate impeachment trial of Joseph Estrada had we all teetered on the meat cleaver, wondering whether we would ever survive the suspense.
