I know we aren't supposed to boil the gelatin, but I was heating it on high heat and it only got up to 145 when I noticed some scorching had occurred in the pot. Should I just throw this gelatin out and start again or is it still good?

I'd pitch it.
when it gets too hot it gets "Denatured" which means that it's lost it's ability to cling to the junk in your brew and help it settle.

Cool. Going for it. Not gonna hurt anything anyway.
edit: The scorchy stuff had turned to solid jelly. I think the rest is just fine.

I wouldn't put anything that was scorched into my good beer unless I wanted a scorched taste.

There was no actual scorching. I think just the stuff in contact with the bottom of the pot got denatured.
