Not directly. If you are working in a union shop you need to get hold of your shop steward and start the complaint process. You need to do this in systemic manner or you could find yourself outside on the curb without a job and no legal leg to stand on. You can alternatively notify your Employee Relations office where you work if you are not an hourly union member. Again, be very certain that you have all the facts ... AND ... witnesses. Without witnesses then it's your word against your manager and the managers always win.

Can I sue my boss for firing me because I said I can sue you?

It depends on the grounds for the original case you were going to sue him for. If it was for an illegal discriminatory practice or illegal harassment, then in addition to your original case, you can also sue him for what is called "retalition," which a form of harassment. It is probably not a good idea to tell your boss that you are suing him. If you are going to sue your boss, you should let your lawyer or a court officer serve him with the lawsuit.

Can i sue my boss for sexual harassment if he sent me emails telling me the sexual things he wants to do to me?

Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination, in the United States, that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I do not know whether you could successfully sue your boss, but if you are uncomfortable with the emails he is sending you, then tell him first. Complain to him and threaten to sue, this will probably make him stop sending you the emails.
