Stephen Miller attends a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Jan. 2. Remarkable new revelations underscore this point — and the need for a tough Democratic reaction to it. Miller should face deeper and tougher scrutiny from House Democrats about his involvement in all of it.

Positions like that of Miller — powerful but murkily defined White House advisory roles that don’t require Senate confirmation — tend to be beyond basic scrutiny and accountability.
