Former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore has long railed against allowing transgender Americans to serve in the military. On Wednesday he took his statements a step further.



"The transgenders don't have rights," Moore said Wednesday according to the Montgomery Adviser. Moore was at a press conference touting endorsements from 13 county sheriffs.



"They've never been denominated as having rights by the U.S. Supreme Court. (Democrat Doug Jones) believes in transgender bathrooms and transgenders in the military. I disagree with him 100 percent," Moore said.



Moore's comments came one day after Danica Roem, a transgender woman, unseated a conservative Republican in a Virginia House of Delegates race.

Moore was twice removed from the state Supreme Court, first for defying a federal order to remove a large statue of the Ten Commandments from the courthouse. He was most recently removed for advising judges not to honor the U.S. Supreme Court's decision legalizing same-sex marriage.
