You're conflating the colloquial use of the word "discretion" with the legal term.

Nothing about either use makes her decisions immune to criticism.

She is a lawyer, not an official in the medieval church.

I don't really follow. The claim wasn't that she did something she wasn't allowed to do, by law. The claim is that she crossed moral lines by choosing to do so. Or am I missing some context here?

Or do you have a different meaning on what discretion means? Legally and otherwise.
