This is an excellent proposal. Protecting the rights of the minority is one of the key functions of any true constitutional republic and this resolution does just that.
I notice you have set the number for breaking filibuster at (close to the) 2/3rds mark, as it was before the 1970s, IIRC. If anyone set this at the 3/5ths mark, I wouldn't have a problem either, though I do prefer the 2/3rds number myself.
I urge both my senators to support this resolution.
