        do you think he isn't liking the fact that Gorsuch is preaching judicial independence?

        He knew exactly who he was appointing. He'd be "independent" in the same way Scalia was.

        Bork got a vote on the Senate floor and lost, I thought.

        Could he use that as a threat if the GOP doesn't pass the AHCA?

        Sure. However in past instances when a nom needed to be withdrawn, they got the nominee to do it. Not sure that would work here.
