question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Cuomo ? ALBANY â Gov. Cuomo  on Monday plans to sign into law new restrictions on electronic cigarettes that effectively ban  their  use in most restaurants  bars and workplaces  the Daily News has learned.
âThese products are marketed as a healthier alternative to cigarettes  but the reality is they also carry long-term risks to the health of users and those around them â  Cuomo  said.
 Cuomo âs decision to sign the bill had been expected.  He  proposed similar restrictions on e-cigarette use as part of  his  executive budget proposal in January.
Supporters of the measure  including the American Cancer Society and the American Lung Association  had been lobbying lawmakers and  Cuomo  to approve the measure  arguing that smoke from e-cigarettes posed health risks akin to those of regular cigarettes.
In July  Gov. Cuomo signed into a law a measure that outlawed the smoking of e-cigarettes in all public and private schools.

question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elena Kagan ? A top Senate Republican complained Wednesday that Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan hasn't been revealing during her confirmation hearings despite her previous statements that judicial nominees should be more open.
 In 1995  Kagan authored an article in the University of Chicago Law Review in which she described the Senate confirmation process as "a vapid and hollow charade."
 Back then  Kagan lamented that senators "do not insist that any nominee reveal what kind of justice she would make  by disclosing her views on important legal issues."
 Another leading Republican  Sen. Jeff Sessions  R-Ala.  the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee  contended that Kagan had given incomplete testimony about her actions as the dean of Harvard Law School when she limited the activities of military recruiters there.
 Kagan told the committee that she had imposed the restrictions because the military's "Don't Ask  Don't Tell" policy amounted to discrimination against homosexuals  a violation of Harvard University's institutional policy that bars discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
 On Wednesday  Kagan's final day of testimony before the Senate panel  Sessions told Kagan her comments about the episode "didn't  frankly  set forth what you did."
 Sessions continued with his questioning and did not give Kagan time to respond to that specific charge.
 Kagan is expected to win the approval of the committee of 12 Democrats and seven Republicans.
