Unfortunately, unless you had a written employment contract limiting the reasons you could be terminated, you were an employee at will, and an employee at will can be fired at any time, for any reason--or even no reason at all--including the employer changing its mind about a years ago background check. So it is very unlikely that as an employee at will, you could successfully sue.
