I'll go with Palmer v. Thompson, 1971, in which the Court held 5-4 that Jackson, MS could close their public pools rather than desegregate them.

Apparently, this decision was never overturned: the USDoJ cited it in defending Trump's travel bans.

A close second would be Bush v. Gore, in which the justices voted on party lines to stop the FL recount and install Bush as President. Had the recount continued, I believe with all my heart Gore would have won.
