Pardoning Nixon set a precedent within which it is acceptable for Presidents to violate American law and suffer nothing beyond hurt feelings from people (rightly) calling them out on our illegal activities. I am fine with the country being 'torn apart' if it happens in reaction to injustice being displayed for all to see.

There is no precedent. A major presidential scandal will always be handled on a case-by-case basis.
