If one employee gets fired for doing the same thing as another employee that doesn't get fired do they have legal rights?

Although the laws vary depending on what state you live and work in, nearly all states are "at-will" employment, which means that they do not have to have any reason to fire you or even give you a reason for letting you go (but if they cannot provide a good reason, you will be able to collect unemployment).
The only exception would be if you were treated differently than the other person (and could prove it) due to your sex, age (over 50), race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or disability (or pregnancy if you are a female). More information about this can be found on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC) website.
