Transferring domains is fairly painless already, but one click transfer would be insanity. The few speedbumps that do exist when transferring exist to prevent domain name hijacking. If you could one-click transfer then domains would be completely unsafe against hijacking.

Because.. please don't ever do that..
I couldn't care less that they have changed their position when they started seeing people are migrating their domains from their services.
After all, let's not forget other "great" news about GoDaddy we've seen in the past.
Migrate, migrate and don't look back. Any company which supported SOPA doesn't deserve my money (or yours) in the future.
Who can say they will not be using that money to try to subvert the rights of the people in the future or that they deserve to be trusted now?

Too little, too late. I'm still moving my ~20 domains away. Their initial stance, plus their ridiculous initial response ("We heard some people were mad, but we're not changing our tune until we start losing money") indicates that they don't actually care about dropping SOPA support. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if behind this "we're so sorry" facade, Bob Parsons and Lamar Smith are having dinner and a laugh.

Politicians don't like distractions. If support for some legislation will end up causing distractions, especially during campaign season, they will take notice. The best distractions come from primary challenges directly attributable to their stances on issues, but even having hecklers show up to campaign events can work. The right has been using primary threats for a long time to keep politicians in line. I suspect…
It's not a matter of distraction, it's a matter of support and influence and money. If you can convince a politician that a sizeable percentage of influential people who are liable to donate money to a cause are for or a against a particular issue that that they are legislating on, preferably people who are from within his/her riding/ward/district and thus directly impact him/her. Say, like well connected, high earni…
Money matters, of course, but it's not the only thing that matters.
Dear interwebnerds: the point has been made. Stop obsessing. Every time you get your knickers in a knot and write a crowing blog post about how you just put it to The Domain Provider Who Shall Not Be Named, you give them more name recognition, free press and SEO. So stop it. Transfer your domains, make your point to customer service if/when they call, then stop talking about their service.
Maybe you folks can spread a little more of your furor around to the other companies on the list...a list that includes most of the major providers of media in our culture.

Going to family at Christmas, it's gruelling to be in the same room as a TV pumping out commercials and other nonsense.
Sorry to hear that. I no longer visit relatives that I'm not on the same page with and I don't really do Christmas anymore. The whole thing sounds soul sucking, not just the TV.
Though I do have to catch myself from being too much of a smug doesn't-own-a-TV guy. There's still plenty of distraction in my life that enters mostly via this computer. At least it is more wholesome and not actively evil.

It really is surprising how bothersome TV can be when you're not used to it. I could hear my younger self calling me a pansy when I used the word gruelling in my previous comment. Of course it's not in the same league as real suffering like the illness you mentioned. Though I do have to catch myself from being too much of a smug doesn't-own-a-TV guy.
