Read up on how an amendment is passed and becomes part of the US Constitution. It can hardly be described as "the Federal Government acting like a Divine King legislating what it feels is best."

An amendment to the US Constitution is impossible without the over-whelming support of the states, no Federal fiat, no Divine King. Nice hyperbole, but completely inaccurate.

By acting like a "Divine King" I meant by legislating as if it is being ordered or blessed by god in someway. Not whether it would stand muster to our checks and balance system. And before anyone says anything I don't mean no one should legislate out of morality or religious beliefs, but it is quite another story if they think god is somehow ordained them with the right to legislate on his behalf, not only is that blasphemous it is dangerous. That is what I meant by diving king.
