FARGO (AP) - A lawsuit by opponents of a Ten Commandments monument on Fargo city property may be put on hold.
The Red River Freethinkers say their constitutional rights were violated when the city refused to place their monument next to the Ten Commandments marker. The group filed a federal lawsuit in April.
Lawyers for both the Freethinkers and the city have asked to delay the proceedings until the U.S. Supreme Court decides a similar case from Pleasant Grove City, Utah.
The Freethinkers lost an earlier lawsuit in which the group argued that the Fargo marker violated the constitutional separation of church and state.
