The Supreme Court does not have the power to appoint a president. You are probably referring to the election of 2000 when a portion of the Supreme Court denied another recount in Florida where the election was close . Florida's votes went to George W. Bush and he needed them to win the election. Later recounts seemed to indicate that Bush won, but some still say the election was decided by the court.
Or in 1876, a panel which included five Supreme Court Justices and 10 Congressmen ruled on the credentials of several electors and ruled all the disputes in favor of Rutherford Hayes, giving him the election.
Both Bush and Hayes lost the popular vote.
