You, and apparent the author you’re citing, are clueless about what happened.

The Court clearly found the moratorium to be unconstitutional. Read the opinion. They did this by letting stand an opinion of the lower court that so held.

Jon Turley —

“I was astonished by the remarks of President Joe Biden on his support for extending the eviction moratorium, which was found to be unconstitutional by lower courts. It was later preserved by a divided Supreme Court despite the view of a majority that it was unconstitutional. It was saved from being struck down merely by the fact that it was expiring. President Biden acknowledged that his legal experts overwhelmingly told him that any extension would violate the Constitution. However, he then said it was worth extending the moratorium because it would take time for a court to intervene and, in the interim, they could rush out money to renters despite the lack of constitutional authority to do so”

>> The court decision was that it was OK, for now.

That was NOT the Court's decision. In fact, only one member of the Court took that position.
