So then could 49 states decide to disassociate themselves from the 50th and kick it out of the Union?

49 States could elect to leave the 1787 Constitutional Union and form their own Union if they wished, sure. Each individual State has the right to leave the Union any time it wants, for any reason or no reason, whatsoever; and independent, Sovereign States can form any compact of association they choose.

But can a state be turned out of the Union against their will if the other states choose to end their assocaiation with them?
