How does a law based on the opinion of one make it any less subjective than if it were the opinion of millions? Does it exist independent of feelings, reason or mind? If so, what function does a law giver provide - communication of transcendent truths? If that is the case, objective morality wouldn't depend on a law giver at all - and if it's not the case, you've just made and argument for subjectivity.
