Education and career
Born in
Federal judicial service
Waldman was nominated by President
First nomination to the Third Circuit
On July 26, 1991, President George H. W. Bush nominated Waldman to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.[2] However, with the Senate Judiciary Committee controlled by Democrats, Waldman's nomination languished, and the committee never acted on the nomination before the end of Bush's presidency. President Bill Clinton chose not to renominate Waldman to the Third Circuit.
Second nomination to the Third Circuit
Just before his death in 2003, Waldman was expected to be renominated to the Third Circuit by President George W. Bush to replace Judge Edward R. Becker.[3] Waldman died about a month after being nominated, which was well before the Senate Judiciary Committee had even begun to take up the nomination. Bush eventually wound up nominating Franklin Van Antwerpen for the seat.
Death
Waldman went on an extended medical leave in January 2003 as he battled lung cancer.[4] Waldman died on May 30, 2003, at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia.[5]
