Writer's Block: Pardon You, Mr. Nixon

On September 8th, 1974, U.S. President Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon. What limits should there be, if any, on pardoning power? What makes a pardon legitimate to you?

I believe that pardoning should only be done if a normal American person guilty of the same crime would be able to be pardoned. Why should celebrities and public figures and politicians not be held with the same accountability as the people they serve? It bothered the hell out of me when the whole Scooter Libby and co. thing was going on and nothing at all happened to them. These people are supposed to be role models, but yet they show that they are above the law. They put our legal system to shame and make a mockery of it.
