I wasn't alive for it so I can't speak from that end... I can see arguments on both sides on whether he should be pardon... On one hand, Nixon never paid for his crimes... on the other hand, would a long drawn out trial have been good for the country, especially since Nixon was out of office at that point.
Ultimately, this might end up happening again in a few years... Will a Republican or a Democratic president pardon Bush to keep a long drawn out ? And will Bush's final act leaving office be to pardon all members of his administration, such as Rummy, Condi, Scooter, Cheney, etc.?
