[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sentiments is that she had the discretionary right to do so and used it 7 times.  To say yes 7 times compared to how many requests?  Where are the crybabies who asked and didn't get preferential treatment?  Ain't no big thing at all...I remember back in the day a student could initiate their own transfer with just a phone call downtown (12th Street).  [/quote]

So you're okay with a little corruption. I get it. I just judge you for your lack of morality. [/quote]

It is not corruption if it is specifically allowed.  In fact it is the opposite of corruption.  [/quote]

I think you misunderstand what it means to have a power that you can exercise as a discretionary matter. It doesn't mean you can exercise the power for any reason at all. For example, the Attorney General has the discretion to decide what crimes to prosecute. So he might decide that a crime is too minor, it would be the first offense, or things like that. But it's not okay to decline to prosecute a crime because the defendant is a personal friend or a friend of a friend. Same goes for deporting noncitizens. As a policy matter we might decide that "dreamers" shouldn't be deported, but it wouldn't be okay for individual officials to use their "discretion" to decide that friends or friends of friends shouldn't be deported.  That is corrupt. We do not have royalty or nobility in this country who have official powers they can use however they want.[/quote]

If that's the case, then an investigation should me made into how many requests for an irregular placement were made, and of those, how many of the overall placements when to politically connected people.  Shouldn't be hard to do.[/quote]
