SCOTUSblog reports that all living past Solicitors General except Robert Bork have written to the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of Elena Kagan.  This would include all three Solicitors under President George W. Bush, namely Ted Olson, Paul Clement and Greg Garre.

They are all fine people.  Still, one cannot be too surprised that former Solicitors General think being Solicitor General is an outstanding qualification for the Supreme Court.
