Q: What is the mechanism of chlorosulfonation of benzene?

RobChem The above reaction looks very similar to a conventional sulfonation reaction but if the reaction pathway is analogous to sulfonation I do not see how the $\ce{SO_2Cl^+}$ would form. Surely $\ce{Cl^-}$ would leave rather than $\ce{H_2O}$ in the formation of the electrophile? Please help me find ...

In this Ron had given an answer where the toluene underwent this particular reaction. Is the major product ortho or para?
