16. Sorry, but the man was an enabler,
He enabled those who would thwart justice twice, once as a member of the Warren Commission, and once when he pardoned Nixon. Two instances when justice was sorely lacking.

I too am old enough to remember when Nixon was in power, and the reaction to Ford's pardon. We all knew it was coming from the minute that Ford was selected, yet were still outraged that Tricky Dick, the man who had broken so many laws, and cost us so many lives, was able to get away scot-free, thanks to Ford.

Sorry, I will never forgive him for this. Yes, he seemed like an ordinary guy, the loveable everyman. But sadly that facade only served to cover for the fact that this man also was aiding and abetting those who would do this country evil, not once, but twice.

He gets no pass in my book.
