Ostensibly the reasons were because some staff members of various Senators were unprepared, and need to devote their attention to the Harriet Miers hearings. But the hearing has not yet been rescheduled.
Here and here are two recent articles I have written on Saudi Arabia that underscore the need for these hearings, and for passage of the Act.

Ridiculous, and inexcusable.

Yes, Miers is a much bigger threat to our way of life then the Saudis.

Blaming it on unprepared staffers is a cover, and a weak one at that.
Think about it, what work product is required from staffers to be able to discuss the subject? The FBI's dossier on the subject should suffice just fine.
No, Saudi Arabia has set its foot down and stopped the hearings before they could even begin.
I was wondering why the Arabians would allow us to hold these hearings.

Apparently some of our zig zagging politicians can't help themselves from selling out the people they represent for the sake of their business partnerships with the Saudi Arabian inbreeders.

Aparently there is Saudi influence in the cabal that creates American policy...

Ostensibly you say, do you have a source for that Mr Spencer? I haven't seen or read this is as an excuse anywhere, but if you have a source then I can use it elsewheres on the INET. I'm usually called on to back up my statements with sources.

Has CAIR taken a position on this matter? I haven't checked the CAIR site lately, but last time I looked it over, not a word about this matter before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
This measure in Committee has been there for some time. There is no excuse for being unprepared.

Islam to spineless, deaf American senators: "You infidels can run, but you can't hide."

There is no doubt that the judiciary committee harbors a bevy of spineless senators when it comes to fighting Saudi subversion. On the other hand when the President is photographed holding hands with the king, that surely cannot inspire much courage among the spineless. What we need in that Senate is another Joe McCarthy who, despite all the leftist propaganda, was dead on right.
The Saudis plan to take the senators’ jobs away when they put sharia law into force. All the law these lawmakers ever made will be trashed with the Constitution. Yet they bow to these subversives and give them whatever they want. Where is the line – between bribery and threats by the Saudis, and treason in the Senate?

That is so true. And a useful analog to the successful agitprop campaign on which willful Dhimmitude stands today in the West.
To recap: McCarthy had indeed identified dozens of communists and communist spies in the highest reaches of our government, not to mention Hollywood, where much of our collective opinion is formed. In fact, Sen. McCarthy begged the FBI (itself infiltrated) to NOT release the names of the suspected commies, which they did anyway.
But our collective memory of what took place is that McCarthy was a megalomaniac wielding the threat of exposure to cow loyal Americans that he had for some reason targeted (anti-Semitism heavily implied here), and that the accused persons in government, academe, and Hollywood were innocent victims to be revered as heroes now.
In other words, history took McCarthy and HUAC to 99% of Americans is the reverse of reality. Coincidentally, there's a moron movie star with a just-released movie pushing this fake history right forever more.
Does this remind you of a certain reverse-of-reality phenomenon we're struggling with today? Hint: ROP. Another hint: this unreality has its own recently-released fake history movie entitled Kingdom-of-Heaven.
Actual reality is stood on its head for political purposes. Not agitprop so much as something that I dubbed "somnoprop."

The sad truth about McCarthy was that although he was right about the extent of Communist influence and how malevolent it was, his own conduct discredited him where others who served at his side went on to elected office.
