I don't understand how this isn't at the Supreme Court yet

  For the Supreme Court to make rulings, there needs to be a lawsuit. Regardless, there was a ruling last year[0] that said the CDC didn't have the authority for a nationwide moratorium. In addition, because this is LA doing this, not the federal government, the Supreme Court is less likely to take up an appeal should there be an actual lawsuit. They tend to prefer country/city lawsuits to stay in the state. --- [0]: Alabama Association of Realtors v.

    Supreme Court likes to take contradictory cases as well. So if 9th circuit says no and 1st says yes. Then it's good chance for Supreme Court to jump in.
