Top conservative says Boehner's job is safe

Rep. Jim Jordan, the Ohio Republican who chairs the hard-line House Freedom Caucus, said Sunday that Boehner's decision to advance a one-week measure to keep the Department of Homeland Security funded without including the attack on President Barack Obama's immigration actions that the right wanted -- but that the Senate couldn't pass -- won't cost the speaker his job. Jordan's comments come amid reports that Boehner's allies are afraid he'll face a challenge from his party's right flank after he agreed to drop the attack on Obama's move to forestall some deportations in order to forestall a looming DHS shutdown.
