And, to follow up on Ty's point, the wrongful discharge laws generally will let you terminate for good cause or no cause but not for bad cause, and bad cause often involves being terminated for objecting to doing illegal things - if she can establish illegality, I'd say she can build a wrongful termination case.
I may just work for too many companies, but these are tough cases to win.
