Pardon

No, I don't think so
You don't pardon someone for political purposes
Not to appease the public
No, instead you uphold the principles of the republic
Justice for all
All men are created equal
Rule of law
If you commit the crime, you do the time

Healing a land is not about losing your principles
It is about standing up for them
The facts of the case should determine who goes free
Not popularity, position or politics
Don't you agree?
