There was a bill once which required the federal government to cite the Constitutional justification for all laws. It failed, of course.

Good point. This is about the same question the United States Supreme Court asked the Florida Supreme Court regarding the recounts. I think it went someting like - What Florida law(s) did you refer to when making your decision? Not one of the eight morons could answer it.

Of course one could ask what matter of Law gave the SCOTUS jurisdiction over the matter. After all, the Constitution imagined the President to be elected by representatives of the States, not the people themselves. Yes, the Florida court is a bunch of yahoos, but the SCOTUS had no right to interfere.
