BALTIMORE — Former Maryland U.S. Sen. Paul Sarbanes has died.

His son, U.S. Rep. John Sarbanes, released a statement late Sunday night, saying: "My father, Sen. Paul S. Sarbanes, passed away peacefully this evening in Baltimore. Following state, local and public health guidance amid the COVID-19 pandemic, our family will hold a private service in the coming days."

Sen. Sarbanes served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1971 to 1977 before being elected to the Senate, where he served for 30 years. He announced his retirement in 2006.

An odd personal memory...the first time I ever was in the House gallery was in 1976, and one thing I remember of the experience was the congresscritters debating the “Sarbannes substitute” for whatever arcane legislation was before the chamber. OK, I also remember one of the speeches being given by Barbara Mikulski, who also became a dem Senator.

RIP. He occupied a Senate seat for what, thirty years? And other than Sarbanes - Oxley did nothing.

“Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers.

A bill to prohibit civil liability actions from being brought or continued against manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for damages, injunctive or other relief resulting from the misuse of their products by others.”

Just one of his many examples of douchebaggery. FU Sarbanes and your punkass son too.

Voted for tax on boats which devastated the boating industry. This jerk did no good for the country for all his service. I’ll ignore all the hoopla.

Who says you’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead? He was a Democrat and as such did his best to turn this country into North Korea/Venezuela. May he rot in hell.
