“He should have been suspended. While he’s entitled to have his own view, in his capacity as a judge he should uphold the Constitution.”

— Gretchen Havner, lawyer, Salt Lake City

“I don’t think that he should have been because there comes a point where one needs to be able to express their beliefs without getting reprimanded. It’s obvious that the Constitution was built on the Ten Commandments.”

— Kirsten Dirks, teacher, Kansas City, Mo.

“I think the most important thing would be separation of church and state, especially for the chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. For him to put that above the Constitution is a big problem.”

— Alison Lungstrum, Yale University senior, Lawrence

“It’s just another excuse to use our tax dollars in tying up courts. It never ends.”

— Robin Kofford, meat cutter, Lawrence
