Richard Posner:

"I have difficulty suppressing the uncharitable thought that there may be an element of bad faith in the deliberative-democracy movement generally...I think that what motivates many deliberative democrats is not a love of democracy or a faith in the people, but a desire to change specific political outcomes... I sense a power grab by the articulate class whose comparative advantage is—deliberation."<ref>[http://www.legalaffairs.org/issues/January-February- 2004/feature_posner_janfeb04.msp Posner, Richard A. 2004. ―Smooth Sailing.‖ Legal Affairs (Jan/Feb)]</ref>
