Bill was WRITTEN and sponsored by a famous GOP Senator. If the standard of bipartisanship is that at least one Republican and at least on Democrat supports it than almost anything can be said to be bipartisan. Who wrote it makes little difference, the point is that it essentially has almost no Republican support and so can not reasonably be called bipartisan. Get 20 senators from each party or maybe 80 representatives from each (or maybe even a little less, and it probably should be a percentage of the parties seats rather than a flat number), than even if one party favors the bill more than the other does, its still bipartisan. This one isn't.
