Legally you can, but it doesn't work well in a Politically Correct world. Even Corporations in at will states are terrified of wrongful termination suits. It still comes down to having a good lawyer to win against your former employer.

Right, that's how my former employer did me. After 9 years of dedicated service they brought me in one day and fired me. Refused to give me a reason, because that's what their scumbag lawyers told them to do.

So MY lawyer helped me prove that I myself was wrongfully terminated, despite being in an "at will" state. That was over a year ago and my former company is still paying me for it.

If I was like that I could have sued and won. And I didn't even get fired for my looks....now think about how bad it would've been for them if they'd have fired someone who actually wants to sue for their looks?

Like I said, at will is largely bullshit.
