Lawyers in Fargo recently defended the city against a civil rights lawsuit. The Red River Freethinkers filed suit against the city of Fargo after city officials refused to allow a monument referencing the Treaty of Tripoli to be situated near the city’s 10 Commandments monument. In particular, the Treaty states "As the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." The Freethinkers claim that prohibiting the Tripoli monument from being placed next the 10 Commandments monument is a constitutional violation of the separation of church and state. The lawsuit is ongoing.
