I'd bet the case would proceed in BK. The umpire, er bankruptcy judge, would rule on most things except the state constitutional issue. For those he would certify a question along the lines of "Can we constitutionally reduce the pensions" send it to Michigan Supreme Court, have them answer it, then proceed pursuant to MI Supreme Court's answer.

Then the US Court of Appeals gets to deal with it.
