Ripeness and mootness ain't in Article 3 of The Constitution, either.

In order to be a "corollary", it must be based on something that's already proven.

It's a corollary of the "case or controversy" language In Article 3, just like ripeness, mootness, etc. In some respects, it makes a lot of sense, e.g., Linda R.S. v. Richard D. But it's used to a large extent to decline cases the Court wishes to avoid for political reasons.
