Scalia stated ‘need to get a fourth’

No he didn't. Reread the article.

I used single quote marks to indicate it was not a direct quote but rather the essence of his statement as I understood it. You are absolutely correct that Scalia did not say directly 'get a fourth'. Below are the two statements from Scalia, as reported in the WND article related from Atty Taitz:

[[ "Scalia stated that it would be heard if I can get four people to hear it. He repeated, you need four for the argument. I got a feeling that he was saying that one of these four that call themselves constitutionalists went to the other side," Taitz said.

“’Tell me what to do, what can I do, those soldiers [her plaintiffs] can be court-martialed for asking a legitimate question, who is the president, is he legitimate.' He said, 'Bring the case, I'll hear it, I don't know about others.'" ]]

Thank you, Sandy, for allowing me the opportunity to clarify.
