I'm with you guys. What is the purpose of a presidential pardon? It seems like all it is now is a way for the president to reward campaign contributors or staff members that happen to be felons.

Shades of Rose Mary Woods, a bungled burglary, and now the possiblity of a presidential pardon. If that happens, we'll have hit the Bush is Nixon trifecta! But wait, firing all those judges was a lot like the Saturday night massacre, so would that make it a quad-fecta?
Why not just eliminate the Presidential pardon? It only gets misused anyway.
