Yes. The Sadducees were men of politics, power, money and secular life, continuing in the ways of the Hellenising Jews. They had abandoned various parts of Judaism; and they claimed no earlier source or tradition for their attitudes. They harassed the Torah-sages; and, like the tiny breakaway group called the Essenes, dwindled away after the time of the Second Destruction, like the earlier Jewish idolaters after the First Destruction.
