Chief Justice Burger once tried, in a concurring opinion, to list the rights he thought the 9th Amendment protects-- IIRC, he mentioned the right to travel from state to state, the right of a criminal defendant to be presumed innocent, and a few others.

That's interesting - do you recall the case where Burger said that? That would make two cases where the 9'th is mentioned, since the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Goldberg's concurrence in Griswold...

I don't have the citation handy, but I think it was a footnote to his concurrence (?) in Richmond Newspapers v. Virginia (1980).
