It's not a federal power grab; an amendment is an explicit part of the Constitution that allows for changes on major issues. It isn't strictly a federal thing, because a large portion of the state legislatures have to approve an amendment, that's why there have been so few.

Just because the amendment process is Constitutionally valid, doesn't mean it's not a federal power grab. I consider other amendments federal power grabs as well. Community standards is the best way to deal with these issues.
