As a practical matter, it was an attempt to interfere with the "creative destruction" that takes place in any system of [[capitalism]], without regard to anyone's cash-flow positions.

But instead of dealing solely with a [[bankruptcy]] judge, a person in that situation would ''also'' have to do with the Unification Board. If "one bad general is better than two good generals who argue," then that is doubly true of courts, boards, or judges.

The only reason that anything like Directive 10-289 could stand would be that the United States of America no longer operated under its present Constitution.
