Is it legal to not hire someone because they aren't planning to stick around for more than eg 2 years?

  The fickle are not a protected class in the US, so yes, it is legal.

  It's certainly legal. But short of expecting you to sign a binding 2-year contract, what exactly are they going to do about it? "I believe in this company and want to be here for the long haul" has got to be one of the most commonly told lies in job interviews.

    I don't think it's a lie, it's just a statement with a big IF before it. IF (this company is as great as you say) && (I'll be doing interesting work) && (the culture is good) && (the pay/benefits is fair) THEN I believe in the company and will stick around.

  Probably, but who cares? If you want the job just say that you are planning to stick around, then you can always change your plans once a better job turns up.
