I don't think there are reasonable people losing their minds over it. I don't like the idea of doing something like this by EO as it's beyond the President's power to do, but there's no constitutional crisis yet. It's just talk. Maybe Trump has no intention of signing such an EO at all. Maybe its proximity to the election is not a coincidence. But if he does follow through, people should wait to see what he's actually doing if he does it before they get too upset about it.
And there are some possibilities that I think could be constitutionally compatible. It clearly establishes the concept of birthright citizenship but there is a gray area in terms of precisely to whom it applies. If the EO interprets it in a way favorable to him, without trampling over the constitution, then fair enough. But, people have to understand that whatever is done by EO is only as permanent as the president who signed it.
I find this a much more rational position, jamil (I know - damning you with faint praise). I prefer trying to craft some sort of attack on a problem to experiencing the vapors about it. Because I accept the rule of law, I accept that SCOTUS may shut down this avenue of attack and I would accept that. That doesn't mean I would not appreciate the attempt; nor that I wouldn't also accept attacking the same problem again from a different angle
