I knew a guy on the Federal Sentencing Commission who was making $130k a year, ten years ago, for attending commission meetings a couple of days a month. As I recall, Commission members made as much as federal judges. I suspect the Civil Rights Commission gets the same. If so, it is an incredibly lucrative part-time job, and a major plum appointment.
