Dear @realDonaldTrump: I appreciate your gesture, but the pardon power should not be based on celebrities. A person's access to NFL athletes, or one's status as a celebrity, should have no bearing on the pardon power. It should be based on justice & mercy, not celebrity status. https://t.co/HHCYwOeHNT
